These high-quality lenses are used in countless films, commercials, and TV productions, providing cinematographers with the perfect tools to bring their vision to life.
From the acclaimed S7/i Full Frame lenses to the versatile Anamorphic/i range, Cooke Optics continues to innovate, offering cutting-edge lens technology while maintaining the timeless character that has made them a favorite in the industry. With a global presence and a strong reputation for reliability, Cooke lenses are trusted by filmmakers and production houses worldwide.
Compact 1.5x Anamorphic Primes for Mirrorless Cinema Capture The Cooke AP3 Series represents a ground-up anamorphic design philosophy tailored specifically for modern mirrorless cinema systems. Built to extend Cooke’s anamorphic lineage into a compact, lightweight form factor, AP3 delivers true 1.5x anamorphic rendering with the optical discipline and consistency expected from high-end production optics. The series is engineered for full-frame coverage while maintaining compatibility with S35 workflows, making it a flexible toolset for narrative, commercial, and documentary cinematography. At its core, AP3 is defined by controlled anamorphic character rather than exaggerated optical artifacts. The rendering is deliberately balanced: organic but not unpredictable, expressive but technically reliable. Focus transitions are smooth and continuous, producing a natural sense of depth that supports visual storytelling without drawing attention to the lens itself. The 1.5x squeeze factor provides a classic anamorphic aspect ratio while optimizing sensor utilization on modern full-frame mirrorless cameras. Flare behavior is distinctly Cooke—subtle, cinematic, and spectrally coherent across the range. Rather than introducing stylized or artificial flare signatures, AP3 produces natural optical responses that integrate into scene lighting. Combined with smooth bokeh rendition and carefully controlled field curvature, the lenses produce a cohesive image structure that supports both controlled lighting environments and available-light shooting scenarios. The series maintains consistent color balance across all focal lengths, ensuring seamless intercutting within multi-camera or multi-lens productions. Despite its anamorphic pedigree, AP3 is optimized for operational efficiency on set. The compact housing, standardized 0.8 MOD focus and iris gears, and consistent 87 mm front diameter allow rapid rigging and compatibility with lightweight support systems, matte boxes, and gimbal setups. Interchangeable mount options further extend system flexibility across major mirrorless platforms. This positions AP3 as a practical solution for owner-operators and production environments where mobility and optical performance must coexist. The Cooke AP3 Series is therefore not positioned as a stylistic exaggeration of anamorphic imaging, but as a precise, production-ready toolset that integrates classical anamorphic aesthetics into contemporary mirrorless workflows. It bridges the gap between traditional cinema optics and next-generation camera systems while preserving the signature Cooke imaging philosophy: controlled highlight roll-off, dimensional rendering, and natural tonal reproduction.
