Description
The Vintage Cooke Varotal Zoom Cine lens is a high-quality, manual focus cine lens that was produced by Cooke Optics in the 1980s. There are three zoom lenses that cover a focal length range of 20-60mm, 18-100mm and 20-100mm and have an aperture range of T3.1 to T22. These lenses are known for their sharpness, smooth focus and zoom action, and the unique “Cooke Look” that is characterized by a warm, slightly soft image with pleasing bokeh. These lenses have remarkable breathing performance, with no noticeable breathing on the wide end, and extremely little on the long end. These lenses pair spectacularly with either TLS Speed Panchros or Cooke Panchro Classics S35/FF. Rent a IBE 2x Extender and use the entire range of the 20-100mm on LF and Full Frame.
Used on films like “Barry Lyndon” “Eyes Wide Shut” “The Shining” “Ray” and countless others, it’s easy to see that this lens is beloved. Rent these lenses in full, partial or individual sets from Cine Visuals.
