Cooke

Cooke offers lenses and precision optics that are largely used by the film industry. Starting from still portrait, telephoto and process lenses, the company later ventured into the development of Cooke cine and television lenses, and today, it offers some of the award-winning 35mm cine prime and zoom lenses. The Company’s product offerings include Prime Lenses, Zoom lenses, and large format lenses. The Cooke S4 Prime Lenses are designed for 35 mm format professional cinematography. Designed in Hollywood in collaboration with Clairmont Camera and Otto Nemenz, these lenses have won several awards for excellence.

The Cooke Portrait PS945 Lens expands the scope of experimentation for the photographers. These lenses can be used to add more emotion and character to weddings, portraits, fashion photography, etc. The lens design is based on the vintage Pinkham & Smith Visual Quality Series IV Soft Focus Lens, which were used by master impressionist photographers in the early twentieth century. The degree of diffusion is determined by the selection of aperture controls, and they can be used for generating different results. The Cooke Series XVa Triple Convertible Lens is based on the original Cooke Series XV lens. While the lens retains some of the original features, it incorporates some new features like colour balance for the contemporary film stocks, no flaring, no ghosting, etc.
