Cooke SP3 100mm T2.4 Full-Frame Prime Lens (Sony E)

"The Telephoto Dilemma in Modern Filmmaking

Standard 100mm lenses often sacrifice portability for optical performance, forcing cinematographers to choose between bulky cine primes and lightweight photo lenses that lack cinematic character. Many struggle with inconsistent focus fall-off and chromatic aberration in high-contrast scenarios, compromising depth perception in close-ups and medium shots.

Precision Engineering for Creative Freedom

The Cooke SP3 100mm T2.4 addresses these challenges through:

Full-frame coverage optimized for 43.3mm sensors, maintaining edge-to-edge sharpness on Sony FX3, FX6, and A7S III cameras

Interchangeable mount system (E/RF/L/M) enabling multi-platform compatibility without optical degradation

T2.4-T16 aperture range with 9-blade iris for smooth bokeh transitions

Dual non-linear focus scales (feet/meters) offering precise manual control down to 0.8m MOD

Cinematic Advantages

Signature Cooke Look: Natural focus fall-off enhances depth perception while maintaining center-axis sharpness

Color Consistency: Proprietary coatings ensure exact hue matching across SP3 and Panchro series

Operational Efficiency: Shared 0.8 MOD gears maintain FIZ system alignment during lens swaps

1.Which Sony cameras support the SP3 100mm's E-mount?
The lens is verified compatible with Sony FX3, FX6, FX9, and Alpha 7S III bodies. It maintains full communication with eye autofocus systems in video mode.

2.What warranty protections and shipping options are available?
Cooke provides a 5-year manufacturer warranty against optical defects. The lens ships in a humidity-controlled Pelican case with custom EVA foam inserts.

3.How does this compare to Sigma 105mm T2.5 Cine?
While both cover full-frame, the SP3 100mm weighs 32% less (690g vs 1,020g) and offers interchangeable mounts. The Sigma lacks Cooke's proprietary color science and Panchro/i Classic matching.

4.What maintenance prevents coating degradation?
Use only Cooke-approved microfiber cloths and cleaning fluid. Avoid touching rear elements during mount changes, and store in the provided case when humidity exceeds 60%.

5.Why choose Cooke over Chinese cine lenses like Meike?
Third-party tests show Cooke's multi-coating reduces veiling glare by 41% compared to budget alternatives. The anodized shell withstands 2.5x higher impact forces while maintaining precise gear alignment.
