Cooke S4/i (S4i) T2 Primes Rental – Super35 Cinema Lenses (12–300mm)
At Camaleon Rental we offer Cooke S4/i lens rental, one of the most widely used spherical series in film and advertising thanks to its balance of character and technical control. The S4/i family inherits the renowned Cooke Look® (warmth, smooth focus fall-off and natural skin tones) and adds /i Technology for lens metadata.
If you are comparing spherical lenses hire options, Cooke S4/i is a very solid Super35 benchmark thanks to consistency across focal lengths, controlled flare, and focus-puller-friendly ergonomics. And if you want color continuity with other Cooke optics, you can also check our Cooke lenses hire category or classic series such as Cooke S2 and S3 Speed Panchro.
The S4/i set covers 12mm through 300mm in Super35 format (maximum image circle: 30mm diameter), with the usual T-stop range of T2–T22 (at 300mm, the catalog indicates T2.8–T22). It features readable scales on both sides, cam-style focus mechanics, and the ability to read /i data on compatible cameras.
Cooke S4/i: the Cooke Look® in Super35 primes with /i Technology
Cooke S4/i are spherical primes designed to deliver strong performance wide open while controlling flare, distortion and aberrations, maintaining the organic character Cooke is known for. On set, this translates into a pleasing image (especially for skin tones) and mechanics designed for fast work: clear markings, long focus throw and consistency across focal lengths.

| Iris rotation | Approx. 78°–96° depending on focal length | Manageable iris changes; consistent across the set. |
| Focus (to MOD) | Approx. 270°–340° depending on focal length | Long throw = precise marks and fine focus pulls. |
| Front diameter | 110mm for most (12mm: 156mm; 150mm: 125mm; 180/300mm: 136mm) | Simplifies matte box setup; some focal lengths require specific configuration. |

Complete Cooke S4/i set (technical table by focal length)
Table based on the Cooke “Lens Specifications” PDF (S4/i). It includes the parameters published by the manufacturer for each focal length: T-stop range, iris rotation, MOD, focus rotation to MOD, diagonal angle on Super35, length, front diameter and weight.
| Focal length | T-Stop | Iris (°) | MOD (mm) | Focus to MOD (°) | Front Ø (mm) | Weight (kg) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12mm | T2–T22 | 96 | 225 | 270 | 156 | 3.0 |
| 14mm | T2–T22 | 96 | 225 | 300 | 110 | 2.2 |
| 16mm | T2–T22 | 96 | 225 | 270 | 110 | 2.5 |
| 18mm | T2–T22 | 96 | 250 | 300 | 110 | 1.8 |
Practical note: most focal lengths share a 110mm front, which speeds up matte box/ring changes. On 12mm, 150mm, 180mm and 300mm the front diameter changes, so plan accessories accordingly and use lens support on longer lenses.
Why rent Cooke S4/i?
- Recognizable Cooke Look®: warmth, pleasing skin tones and smooth focus fall-off, without a “clinical” feel.
- Color consistency across focal lengths: Cooke states its series are color-matched to make matching in post easier.
- Optical control wide open: designed for strong performance at T2, with controlled flare/distortion/aberrations.
- Cam-style focus mechanics: smooth, precise movement and plenty of useful marks for focus pullers.
- /i Technology: per-frame metadata (focus, T-stop, hyperfocal and more) for VFX/VP workflows or on-set control.
- Huge focal range: from 12mm to 300mm within the same aesthetic “universe”.
If your project mixes primes and zooms, maintaining consistent color/contrast is often key. At Camaleon Rental you can combine your Cooke S4/i with other cinema lenses options and build a coherent on-set package.
Depth of field (DoF) and focusing: how to use Cooke S4/i on set
Cooke publishes official depth of field (DoF) tables specific to each series and focal length. These tables define: U (subject distance measured from the film/sensor plane), N (near limit in focus) and F (far limit in focus). Cooke also states the circle of confusion criteria used in the tables (0.001” for feet scales and 0.025mm for metric scales).
In practice, if you work with /i Technology and a compatible system, you can access useful in-camera information such as focus distance, T-stop and data related to focus range/hyperfocal (depending on configuration). This helps on fast-paced shoots, VFX and Virtual Production, reducing time spent calculating on set.

Frequently asked questions: Cooke S4/i
Do Cooke S4/i cover Full Frame?
No. According to the technical PDF, the S4/i series is designed for Super35 (maximum format covered: 30mm diameter). If you need Full Frame coverage, the usual approach is to use Cooke families designed for FF (subject to catalog availability).
What does /i Technology mean on Cooke S4/i?
/i Technology is a metadata protocol that records lens data per frame via contacts in the mount: focal length, focus distance, T-stop, hyperfocal distance and more (depending on camera/system compatibility).
Which Cooke S4/i focal lengths are most commonly rented?
A very common “core” set for narrative/commercial work in Super35 is 18mm, 25mm, 32mm/35mm, 50mm, 75mm and 100mm. You can extend it with 12/14/16/21mm for interiors or add 135/150/180mm if you need more compression.
Do all Cooke S4/i have a 110mm front?
Most do, but the PDF lists exceptions: 12mm (156mm), 150mm (125mm) and 180mm/300mm (136mm). This matters for matte boxes, donuts and clamps.
How is the Cooke S4/i rental price calculated?
It depends on the number of days, how many focal lengths, whether it is combined with camera and accessories, logistics, and insurance. To quote quickly: send us dates, city and the set you want.
