Cooke S8/i Full Frame Plus 40mm T1.4 Prime Lens (PL Mount) Overview

The Cooke S8/i Full Frame Plus 40mm T1.4 Prime Lens (PL Mount) is part of Cooke's S8/i lens set and features a PL mount for rock-solid mounting. It shares consistent focus and iris gear positions across the S8/i lineup for fast lens swaps while optically providing warm, wide-to-normal shots with an organic feel that does not sacrifice sharpness.

It is designed to cover full-frame cinema camera sensors and is suitable for studio, location, handheld, stabilizer, and drone shooting, the lens is color-matched to other Cooke lenses and has focus markings on both sides of the lens.

Compatibility

All S8/i FF lenses have a common fixed front diameter of 104mm, with a focus drive gear of 140T x 0.8 MOD and an iris drive gear of 134T x 0.8.

Mount

This lens is delivered in an ARRI PL mount, which can be adapted to an ARRI LPL mount via an optional adapter. The lens is available in a native ARRI LPL mount by special order.

Optical Design

The optics feature controlled flaring, low distortion, and limited spherical aberration, and they are color-balanced to match the profile of other Cooke cinema lenses, so they can fit right into your existing kit.

Focus Movement

The lens features an Academy Award-winning cam-style focus movement coupled with the benefit of a large lens barrel diameter, which allows for an increased number of focus markings, particularly at close focus. A four-point contact bearing also provides smooth positive backlash-free movement.

Precision Focus Marks

Every focus mark throughout the 270° focus rotation is individually calibrated and engraved on both sides of the focus barrel for precise focus pulls in feet or meters.

Iris

Cooke S8/i FF lenses have a 9-leaf linear iris with a maximum aperture of T1.4 across the majority of the lens lineup. This allows for greater control over depth of field and flare characteristics while still providing excellent low-light performance.

/i Electronics

The S8/i FF lenses also feature the latest Cooke /i lens data technology that provides focus and iris position as well as motion/inertia, mapping, shading, distortion, and calibration data. It is accessible via a cable connector near the lens mount and synchronizes with /i compatible cameras and accessories. The electronics board has also been resized and repositioned for easy serviceability.

Weight/Size Ratio

The lenses are designed for all shooting applications, including handheld, stabilizer, and even drone work, providing a comfortable balance ratio with the latest compact digital cinema cameras.

Exterior Finish

Every Cooke lens is coated with a scratch-resistant PTFE hard-anodized finish that provides a durable, hard-wearing surface to meet the most demanding environmental conditions.
