Key features

  • Full-frame coverage across all 6 focal lengths (18mm, 25mm, 32mm, 50mm, 75mm, 100mm)
  • Constant T2.4 aperture on every lens in the set, with a 9-blade iris for smooth, round bokeh
  • The classic Cooke look: the same rendering, skin tones and character as Cooke's Panchro/i Classic series, so the SP3s work well as a B or C camera set alongside them
  • A genuinely wide range, with the 18mm giving a 99-degree field of view on full-frame for establishing shots and tight spaces, right through to the 100mm at the other end
  • Aligned 0.8 MOD focus and iris gearing across the set for fast lens swaps on matte boxes and FIZ systems
  • Lightweight housings built for extended handheld, gimbal and drone use without the bulk of a full cinema prime set

Description

The Cooke SP3 6-Lens Prime Set covers 6 focal lengths built around a single constant T2.4 aperture: 18mm, 25mm, 32mm, 50mm, 75mm and 100mm. Every lens shares the same optical rendering, so a production can cut between focal lengths without the image character shifting. It suits E-mount productions where that recognisable Cooke look matters, from narrative and commercial work through to music videos and branded content.

‍

What makes the SP3 series distinct is how closely it matches Cooke's own Panchro/i Classic lenses. If a production is already shooting Panchro/i Classics on the main camera, the SP3 set gives you the same look on a B or C camera, a gimbal, or a drone, without carrying a second full cinema prime set around. The trade-off that makes this possible is size and weight: these are some of the lightest full-frame primes Cooke has built, which matters over a long handheld day.

‍

The set is built around a shared mechanical platform too. Focus and iris gearing sit in the same position across all 6 lenses, so swapping lenses on a matte box or FIZ rig doesn't mean re-cabling a motor each time. Worth knowing before you build a filter kit: the 18mm and 100mm share an 82mm front diameter, while the 25mm, 32mm, 50mm and 75mm share a smaller 64mm front diameter, so you're working with 2 filter thread sizes across the set rather than 1.

‍

This set is E-mount, so it pairs directly with E-mount cinema bodies like the Sony FX9. Each hire includes all 6 lenses (18mm, 25mm, 32mm, 50mm, 75mm and 100mm) in a heavy duty case. Request a quote and we'll confirm availability alongside any camera body or support gear you need to go with it.

FAQs

What mount is the Cooke SP3 6-Lens Prime Set in? This set is E-mount, so it pairs directly with Sony E-mount cinema and mirrorless bodies.

‍

Do all 6 lenses use the same filter size? No. The 18mm and 100mm share an 82mm front diameter, while the 25mm, 32mm, 50mm and 75mm share a smaller 64mm front diameter, so you'll need filters or step-up rings for both sizes if you want to filter every lens in the set.

‍

What's the maximum aperture across the set? Every lens in the set shares a constant T2.4 maximum aperture, so exposure stays consistent when you change focal length mid-shoot.

‍

Do these lenses cover full-frame sensors? Yes, all 6 focal lengths cover full-frame sensors as well as smaller formats.

‍

What's included in the hire? All 6 lenses (18mm, 25mm, 32mm, 50mm, 75mm and 100mm), supplied in a heavy duty case.
