Cooke SP3 18mm T2.4 Full Frame Overview
Enhance your mirrorless camera capture with outstanding optical performance using the SP3 18mm T2.4 Full-Frame Prime Lens from Cooke. Based on the storied Speed Panchro lenses, the SP3 primes are optically and mechanically optimized for full-frame mirrorless cameras. These tough yet lightweight and compact lenses feature focus and iris mechanics aligned across the series, enabling quick lens changes when using matte boxes and FIZ (focus/iris/zoom) systems. Each lens in the series matches the Cooke Panchro/i Classic series, enabling you to use the SP3 primes as a " B" or " C" camera drone or gimbal solution that complements your " A" camera footage.
The Cooke Look
- The SP3 primes are closely based on the classic Cooke look popularized in Hollywood films.
- Outstanding definition and resolution are complemented by a classic fall-off towards the frame edge.
- Proprietary Cooke optical coatings ensure flare control and color matching across the series.
- Images are rendered with greater realism thanks to heightened dimensionality and contrast performance.
- Facial images feature optimal skin tone and character.
Consistent T2.4 Aperture
- Designed with a fast T2.4 aperture that is consistent across the series.
- The 9-blade aperture features smooth, accurate adjustments with finer control towards the wider end.
Interchangeable Mount
- This Sony E-mount lens features an interchangeable mount that can be changed by the user.
- Available mounts will include Canon RF and Leica L and M options.
- The RF-mount will be available soon after launch purchasers will be able to redeem one free of charge by following the instructions in the packaging. The Leica M-mount will be available in early 2024.
Focus Control
- Nonlinear focus scales provide more exact control as you approach minimum focus.
- Industry-standard 0.8 MOD focus and iris gears are compatible with third-party FIZ systems.
- Focus scales are marked in both feet and meters.
Filter Support
- An 82mm front outside diameter and M77 filter size enable quick lens changes with the 100mm model when working with matte boxes and adapters.
- Enables you to filter the lens without adding the weight of a matte box to your drone or gimbal.
