This 35mm lens is part of Cooke s S8/i lens set, and it features a PL mount for rock-solid mounting, the lens shares consistent focus and iris gear positions across the S8/i lineup for fast lens swaps while optically providing a warm, wide-angle lens feel for shots with an organic feel that do not sacrifice sharpness.
