Cooke S4 FF/i 100mm T2.0 Full-Frame Prime Lens

The Cooke S4 FF/i 100mm T2.0 Full-Frame Prime Lens brings the renowned Cooke Look to professional full-frame cinematography, combining the warmth and optical character of the iconic S4/i series with a refined telephoto perspective. Designed for cinematographers seeking natural skin tones, gentle clarity, and expressive image rendering, this 100mm prime lens delivers a distinctive cinematic aesthetic ideal for narrative filmmaking, portraiture, close-up photography, and high-end digital cinema.

Featuring a 100mm focal length with full-frame coverage optimized for a 43.3mm image circle, the lens provides a focused field of view that allows cinematographers to isolate subjects and emphasize fine details within a composition. Its telephoto perspective makes it particularly well suited for intimate character portraits, dialogue close-ups, and selective detail shots where controlled framing and background separation contribute to visual storytelling.

The lens incorporates a fast T2.0 maximum aperture, allowing cinematographers to achieve pronounced subject separation and shallow depth of field while maintaining flexibility in challenging lighting conditions. Its T2.0 to T16 aperture range supports a variety of creative exposure requirements, while a nine-blade curved iris produces smooth, rounded bokeh with softly defined edges. Characteristic Cooke rendering, layered flares, and subtle contrast transitions contribute to images with natural dimensionality and expressive cinematic character.

Engineered for precise manual operation, the S4 FF/i 100mm features a 270° focus rotation, providing the extended adjustment range needed for smooth, accurate, and repeatable focus pulls. A minimum marked object distance of 650mm allows cinematographers to capture tight compositions and detailed close-ups, making it easier to emphasize facial expressions, textures, and important visual elements within a scene.

The lens features an 87mm maximum front diameter for integration with compatible professional cinema accessories, while its M82 × 0.75 front filter thread allows compatible screw-in filters to be attached directly. Available in PL or LPL mounts with a choice of imperial or metric focus scales, the lens offers flexibility for different camera systems and production workflows. Its consistent contrast and sharpness characteristics also help maintain visual continuity when working alongside other focal lengths in the S4 FF/i series.

Combining full-frame coverage, a fast T2.0 aperture, precise manual focusing, smooth cinematic bokeh, and the unmistakable Cooke Look, the Cooke S4 FF/i 100mm T2.0 Full-Frame Prime Lens delivers a professional telephoto solution for cinematographers seeking flattering close-ups, expressive optical character, and precise creative control.
