Cooke Anamorphic Zoom

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 270° 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 – 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 35–140mm 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 Cooke’s Anamorphic/i family, the lens was developed to meet cinematographers’ 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.
