Cooke AP3 FF 50mm T2.4 1.5x Anamorphic Lens

Natural anamorphic storytelling perspective

The Cooke AP3 FF 50mm T2.4 1.5x Anamorphic Lens represents the classic anamorphic “normal” focal length, delivering a natural perspective with subtle compression and strong cinematic character. It is designed for narrative storytelling, dialogue scenes, and controlled cinematic compositions where emotional depth and spatial realism must coexist.

The 1.5x squeeze factor produces elegant anamorphic oval bokeh and refined horizontal flares, while maintaining high resolution and controlled optical breathing characteristics. The result is a balanced anamorphic aesthetic that remains highly usable in modern digital production environments.

The lens is built with portability and consistency in mind. Its compact anodised body, dual focus scale system, and precise mechanical matching across the AP3 series ensure efficient lens swaps and stable focus/iris motor alignment during production workflows.

Close focus performance enables creative framing flexibility, allowing cinematographers to work in tight environments without compromising image quality or optical character.

The AP3 system is designed for mirrorless-based cinema rigs, offering maximum adaptability while maintaining professional mechanical durability.

The AP3 series is supplied with a Sony E-Mount as standard configuration. RF, L, and M mounts are available as interchangeable rear mount options.
