Cooke 180mm T2.9 Anamorphic/i 1.8x Plus Standard Lens for PL Mount

The next step in the evolution of filmmaking: large format production with anamorphic characteristics, including flare and oval bokeh.High performanceSuperb optical and mechanical performance, control of flare, distortion, veiling glare and spherical aberrations at full aperture.BalancedCoverage circle covers a full 24 x 36 still size sensor with 1.8 squeeze - the perfect sweet spot.PracticalEight focal lengths for different needs, each featuring the coveted Cooke Look.ConnectedEquipped with /i Technology for frame by frame digital information capture.TechnologyCooke's /i Technology automatically collects detailed lens data to equip production, VFX and post-production teams with insight into everything from lens setting to hyperfocal distance. Providing detail on vital information on factors like focus distance, aperture, depth-of-field, owner data and focal length in both metric and footage measurements, it also intelligently gathers inertial tracking data, shading and distortion data.Handcrafted InnovationGrinding & PolishingClassic polishing techniques are used to ensure maximum accuracy.MetrologyMore insights and measurements are collected than ever before to ensure the best possible end result.Coating & CementingMinerals are evaporated at a high temperature in a vacuum to produce a thin film on the glass.
EdgingEdging is conducted to ensure that glass diameters are perfectly round.Cleaning & AssemblyLenses are carefully tested, checked, modified, cleaned and rechecked.FeaturesOptical DesignThe Anamorphic/i series comprises of 10 Anamorphic Prime Lenses. These Lenses are optimised for film and digital film cameras reducing lateral color aberration and providing an organic bokeh look. Anamorphic/i lenses are designed to provide maximum performance at full aperture with superior control of flare, distortion and spherical aberration. The optics feature a 2x squeeze factor for super35 formats in 2.4:1 aspect ratio.Color BalanceAll Anamorphic/i lenses are color balanced and color matched - ensuring consistency across the seriesApertureAll Anamorphic/i lenses cover Super 35mm formatsIrisThe Anamorphic/i series of prime lenses feature an eleven-leaf linear module iris assembly.
