After almost half a century from their first realize, the Cooke S2 and S3 were still very appreciated among cinematographers and directors for their unique look. When in 1998 Cooke gave us the new S4, they rapidly became an industry standard for their warmth color wise, their soft definition and low contrast. Other key features are their color delivery, outstanding on skin tones.
