About the Cooke S4 FF/i Cinema Lenses
Cooke S4 FF/i is a compact full-frame prime set built for modern filmmaking, with six T2.0 lenses from 18mm to 100mm. It pairs a warm, natural rendering with close focus that averages just over 15 inches, so hands and small details can fill the frame while performance holds from infinity to the minimum object distance. The set is color balanced and matched, with contrast and sharpness that stay consistent across focal lengths.
The lenses are small in front diameter, short in length, and light in weight, which suits handheld and tight-space work. Each lens carries Cookeโs /i Technology, which transmits focus and iris position and inertial motion data, along with a factory-calibrated shading and distortion map for VFX and virtual production workflows. A nine-leaf iris with slightly rounded blades keeps bokeh round as you stop down, and a scratch-resistant exterior finish adds durability on demanding shoots.

Image Fidelity & Focus
Cooke S4 FF/i primes combine modern resolution with a gentle, human rendering. Detail resolves with soft clarity instead of a clinical edge, and skin tones stay natural with a slight warmth through the image. Contrast falls off gradually, giving depth that feels natural, and sharpness holds edge to edge with minimal loss toward the corners. Every lens is color balanced and matched, so the set stays consistent from the 18mm to the 100mm. Smooth, consistent focus travel and 270ยฐ of focus rotation support accurate focus pulls.
Handling & Adaptability
Weighing between 3.2 and 4.0 lbs (1,450 to 1,800g) including the PL mount, each lens is 3.5 to 5.1 inches long, with a consistent 87mm front diameter across the set. The lenses use 0.8 metric module gears on the focus and iris rings for compatibility with follow focus systems and lens motors, with 270ยฐ of focus rotation and 75ยฐ of iris rotation. Close focus, measured from the sensor, ranges from 11 inches on the 25mm and 35mm to 2 feet 3 inches on the 100mm. A standard M82 x 0.75 screw-in filter thread is on every lens except the 18mm. Cookeโs /i Technology contacts are built into the mount for lens metadata.
Flare & Bokeh
A nine-leaf iris with slightly rounded blades produces smooth, circular bokeh wide open, taking on a catโs-eye shape toward the edges of the frame, and stays rounder as you stop down. Flares are layered and take on the color of the light source, with contrast softening without the image dissolving into haze. Highlights glow with a slight bloom, and each focal length flares a little differently.
Image Circle
The Cooke S4 FF/i primes are designed to cover full-frame sensors and are optimized for cameras including the Sony Venice and ARRI Alexa LF. On full frame, angles of view range from about 102ยฐ at 18mm to 24ยฐ at 100mm. On Super 35, they range from 82ยฐ to 18ยฐ.
Cinematic Heritage
Cookeโs lens-making history dates to 1893, when H. Dennis Taylor designed and patented the Cooke Triplet. The S4 prime series arrived in 1998 and gained /i Technology in 2005, becoming a standard on film and television productions. Cooke cites Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, and The Grand Budapest Hotel as productions shot on S4/i primes. The S4 FF/i evolves that design for full-frame cinematography, and each lens is handmade at Cookeโs factory in Leicester, UK.
