Cooke Anamorphic/i Full Frame 1.8x Rental – Anamorphic Primes T2.3
At Camaleon Rental we offer the rental of Cooke Anamorphic/i Full Frame Plus 1.8x lenses, Cooke’s large-format anamorphic family designed to combine the classic Cooke Look® with oval bokeh and expressive flares on Full Frame and VistaVision sensors.
With a 1.8x squeeze factor, the Cooke Anamorphic FF set hits the sweet spot between traditional anamorphic character and maximum sensor usage: roughly 90% of pixels at 2.39:1 and 100% of the frame at 2.7:1. They include /i Technology to record per-frame lens metadata, making them ideal for VFX, HDR and premium productions.
Cooke Anamorphic/i Full Frame 1.8x: large-format organic look with /i Technology
The Cooke Anamorphic/i FF Plus 1.8x are aimed at directors of photography seeking a large-format anamorphic look while retaining Cooke’s characteristic warmth and softness. They deliver oval bokeh, organic flares (especially in the SF – Special Flair variant) and very pleasing skin rendition, while maintaining good control of distortion and aberrations.
Thanks to the 1.8x squeeze, the Cooke Anamorphic FF set uses the sensor more efficiently than traditional 2x anamorphics — roughly 90% of pixels at 2.39:1. When working at 2.7:1 you can exploit 100% of the frame, which is very interesting for Full Frame cameras and 4K/6K/8K workflows.
