Cooke S7/i — full-frame-plus coverage (46.31mm image circle), T2.0, the Cooke Look scaled up for Alexa LF, Sony Venice and RED Vista Vision sensors.
Definition
The Cooke S7/i Full Frame Plus is a series of prime cine lenses from the British manufacturer Cooke Optics. These prime lenses cover an image circle of 46.3mm – 3mm larger than standard full-frame (43.3mm). The S7/i series expands upon the proven S4/i system and offers focal lengths from 18mm to 300mm with a consistent T2.0 aperture.
The lenses are characterized by the signature "Cooke Look" – a warm, organic image rendering with gentle skin tones and creamy bokeh. Each lens features the patented /i Technology, which can digitally transmit metadata such as focal length, aperture, and focus position to the camera.
Practical Application
The S7/i Full Frame Plus lenses are primarily used in high-end film production, from feature films to premium streaming content. Their large image circle coverage makes them ideal for modern large-format sensors such as the ARRI ALEXA LF or RED MONSTRO. The consistent T2.0 aperture allows for consistent exposure when changing focal lengths and provides excellent low-light performance.
