Cooke 5/i S35 T1.4 Rental – Super35 Cinema Lenses (18–135mm) with /i Technology
At Camaleon Rental, we offer Cooke 5/i S35 T1.4 lens rental, a set of Super35 spherical primes designed to perform at their peak at wide-open aperture, featuring flare control, low distortion, and the signature “Cooke Look” on skin tones and transitions. These lenses represent the evolution of the S4 series, adding increased brightness and the innovative scale illumination system.
The 5/i series stands out for its true T1.4, on-set ergonomics, and the integration of /i Technology (lens metadata essential for VFX and post-production). This series maintains the renowned Cooke Look® but with a much faster aperture, ideal for low-light shoots or extremely shallow depths of field.
The Cooke 5/i S35 set covers from 18mm to 135mm in Super35 format (30mm image circle coverage), with a constant T1.4–T22 aperture. Additionally, the 5/i features a dimmable backlit focus ring for working in low light without external lamps, transmitting /i metadata to the camera to streamline modern workflows.
Cooke 5/i S35: T1.4 Speed, Cooke Look, and Illuminated Ring
The Cooke 5/i S35 are spherical primes for Super35 that combine three clear concepts: wide-open performance, the character known as The Cooke Look®, and a practical on-set advantage: the dimmable, switched backlit focus ring for working in low-light conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions: Cooke 5/i S35
What does "5/i" and "S35" mean?
“5/i” is Cooke's series of spherical primes with /i Technology, and “S35” indicates they are designed for Super35 sensors. The official set range is 18–135mm.
Do Cooke 5/i lenses cover Full Frame?
They are designed for Super35 (30mm diagonal coverage). They are not Full Frame optics; if your project is FF, ask us about other Cooke families like the S7/i designed for that format.
How does the illuminated ring work?
It is an integrated electronic system in the lens that backlights the focus markings. The intensity can be adjusted, and it connects via the PL mount pins or an external connector.
What advantages do they have over Cooke S4/i?
The main advantage is speed (T1.4 vs. T2.0) and the scale illumination system. Both maintain the Cooke Look®, but the 5/i are faster and more technologically advanced.
