COOKE S4/i

COOKE S4i HIRE

COOKE S4I LENSES RENTAL

After almost half a century from their first release, the Cooke S2 and S3 were still very appreciated by cinematographers and directors because of their unique look. In 1998, when Cooke manufacturers gave us the new S4 kit, these lenses rapidly became an industry standard due to the color warmth, soft definition and low contrast they gave. Other key features of the s4 lenses are: great color delivery and outstanding on skin tones.

The Cooke S4i are the second generation of s4 lenses, and they feature the i-Technology lens data system that gives the director of photography, camera operators and focus pullers crucial info about lens settings, such as focus distance, iris aperture, depth of field, hyper-focal distance, lens serial number, focal length and owner information. 

The S4i T2 rental/hire lenses deliver optimal performance, both mechanically and optically, together with an outstanding flare and optical aberration control when wide open. The focus ring has a special built for extra smooth focus racks, while their modular constitution makes maintenance easier.

There are 18 lenses available in the S4i series, covering a range between 12 and 300mm, with an average weight of 1.8 kg.

Color wise, they perfectly match with Cooke zooms 18-100mm T3, 25-250mm T3.7, 15-40mm T2.0 CXX and the super16 S4.
