About the Cooke Anamorphic/i 2x35-140mm Zoom Cinema Lens
The Cooke Anamorphic/i 35-140mm 2x zoom is designed to provide the flexibility of a zoom lens while maintaining the visual characteristics of Cooke anamorphic primes. It produces oval bokeh, controlled horizontal flares, and a wide field of view, with warm color reproduction and smooth contrast that align with the Cooke Look.
Covering a focal range from 35mm to 140mm, it allows cinematographers to move between wide, standard, and medium telephoto shots without changing lenses. The lens maintains consistent performance across the zoom range with stable focus behavior and minimal breathing. Built with Cooke /i Technology for lens metadata, it integrates into modern production workflows while preserving a unified anamorphic image across both zoom and prime setups.

Image Fidelity & Focus
Like other Cooke Anamorphics, this lens is sharp but not sterile. It resolves adequate detail for 6K and 8K capture, but maintains a subtle softness in micro-contrast that results in a filmic rendering of skin and textures. Color and tonal consistency match the Cooke Anamorphic/i primes, ensuring seamless intercutting. Colors are rich and warm, with smooth highlight roll-off and natural skin tones. Depth transitions are gradual and pleasing. The lens has minimal focus breathing, a rare feat for anamorphic zooms, allowing for smooth rack focus moves.
Handling & Adaptability
The lens is a robust piece of engineering, weighing around 10.1 kg (22 lbs), a size that makes it best suited for studio, dolly, or crane setups rather than handheld or lightweight gimbals. Like other Cooke lenses, it features precise 270ยฐ focus rotation, consistent front diameters for accessories, and rugged mechanics that hold up in demanding production environments. Despite its size, operators praise its smooth zoom and focus action. The lens is equipped with PL mount and Cooke /i Technology built in, providing real-time lens metadata to the camera system.
Flare & Bokeh
The 2x squeeze ratio produces classic horizontal streak flares, subtle veiling, and occasional rainbow artifacts, depending on light source and angle. Chromatic aberration is well controlled, though slight fringing may appear at the frame edges โ often appreciated as part of the anamorphic character. Out-of-focus highlights form elegant oval bokeh, with distinctive anamorphic stretching that adds to cinematic depth. The transition to out-of-focus areas feels smooth and organic.
Image Circle
Designed for Super 35 sensors, the Cooke Anamorphic/i 35โ140mm 2x zoom covers a standard anamorphic image area, yielding aspect ratios of 2.39:1 when de-squeezed.
Cinematic Heritage
Introduced in the mid-2010s as part of Cookeโs Anamorphic/i family, the lens was developed to meet cinematographersโ demand for greater versatility in the anamorphic space. Primes had long dominated anamorphic shooting, but the growing pace of modern productions called for a tool that could adapt to dynamic environments and avoid frequent lens swaps.
