Cooke SP3 Full-Frame 6-Lens Prime Set (18/25/32/50/75/100mm, Sony E)

"Elevate Your Cinematic Storytelling

In today's competitive filmmaking landscape, capturing footage that stands out requires more than just technical perfection-it demands character and emotion. Standard lenses often deliver clinical images that lack the organic qualities that create true cinematic impact.

The Cooke SP3 Full-Frame 6-Lens Prime Set resolves this challenge by bringing the legendary ""Cooke Look"" to Sony mirrorless platforms. Based on the historic Speed Panchro lenses that defined Hollywood's golden era, these newly engineered optics are optimized for full-frame mirrorless cameras while maintaining the signature aesthetic that has made Cooke lenses the choice of award-winning cinematographers worldwide

What camera systems are compatible with the Cooke SP3 lens set?

Canon RF mounts will be available soon after purchase (redeemable free of charge), while Leica L and M mounts can be purchased separately.

What warranty and shipping options are available for this lens set?
The Cooke SP3 Full-Frame 6-Lens Prime Set comes with Cooke's standard manufacturer warranty. The set ships in a custom-designed hard case with cut EVA foam that securely holds all six lenses, additional mounts, and shims. The case features a purge valve for air travel and padlock holes for security.

How do Cooke SP3 lenses compare to other cinema lenses in this price range?
Unlike many modern cine lenses that prioritize clinical sharpness, the SP3 series balances technical performance with the organic character of the ""Cooke Look."" They're significantly lighter than comparable full-frame cinema lenses (averaging 30-40% less weight) while maintaining professional features like standard 0.8 MOD gears and consistent housing dimensions. They uniquely match with the higher-end Panchro/i Classic FF lenses, making them ideal as complementary B/C camera options.

How should I maintain these lenses for maximum longevity?
For optimal performance and longevity, store the lenses in their protective case when not in use. While the lenses feature scratch-resistant coating, always use lens caps and avoid touching optical surfaces. Clean lenses only with appropriate lens cleaning solutions and microfiber cloths. When changing mounts, follow the included mount-change instruction booklet precisely to avoid damage to the delicate mounting mechanism.

What makes the ""Cooke Look"" special compared to other lens aesthetics?
The distinctive ""Cooke Look"" has been a cinematography standard for decades. It combines technical excellence (resolution and definition) with artistic rendering qualities that enhance storytelling. Key characteristics include natural skin tones, dimensional contrast, gentle focus fall-off toward frame edges, and organic bokeh. Unlike lenses that create dramatic artifacts, SP3 lenses capture specular flaring and veiling glare organically, allowing cinematographers to focus on creative intent rather than managing lens characteristics.
