Image Fidelity & Focus

Cooke Anamorphic/i 2x SF lenses balance modern sharpness with warmth and smoothness. They are not overly clinical; instead, they render detail with a gentleness that flatters skin tones and creates a painterly quality. Color consistency across the set is excellent, ensuring seamless intercutting. Skin tones are rich and natural, while highlights roll off smoothly without harsh clipping. Depth of field transitions are gradual, giving images a three-dimensional roundness. Focus breathing is minimized.

Handling & Adaptability

Most Cooke Anamorphic/i SF lenses share a consistent 110mm front diameter, allowing quick matte box and accessory changes. They feature a long, precise focus rotation of 270°, making them highly reliable for focus pullers. Weights range from 3.5 to 5.5 kg (8-12 lbs) depending on focal length, making them sturdy but manageable for Steadicam, dolly, and crane work. Rugged housings ensure durability on demanding sets. PL mounts are standard. Cooke supports metadata through the /i Technology system, which records lens information directly to the camera.

Flare & Bokeh

The defining feature of the SF series is enhanced flare design. Point sources create dramatic, colorful streaks, halos, and veiling flares with greater intensity than standard coatings. Chromatic aberration is minimal but not absent, often adding to the organic feel. The lenses produce pronounced oval bokeh, with a soft, creamy texture that feels cinematic – true to anamorphic tradition. Wider focal lengths introduce subtle swirl, while longer lenses create elegant subject isolation.

Image Circle

The lenses cover the Super 35 format (approximately 27mm image height). While designed for S35, they can be adapted for modern workflows using various crop modes or expanders.

Cinematic Heritage

Cooke introduced the Anamorphic/i 2x series to revive the cinematic grandeur of anamorphic optics for modern digital cameras. The SF line followed soon after, in response to cinematographers asking for more expressive flare characteristics reminiscent of vintage anamorphics, but with Cooke’s reliability. The result combines the best of both worlds: modern consistency with deliberate imperfection. Cooke Anamorphic/i 2x SF lenses have been chosen for a wide range of features, television, and commercials, most notably La La Land (2016). Linus Sandgren, ASC, FSF took home the Oscar for his work on the film.
