The new Panchro 65/i series sees Cooke scale up its signature warmth and artistry for 65mm and larger-format cameras
Legendary British lens firm Cooke has unveiled the Panchro 65/i lens series designed specifically for 65mm and larger-format cameras such as the Fujifilm GFX Eterna 55. The collection transports the signature warmth, character and smooth rendering of the classic Panchro line to today’s most advanced cameras.
Cooke has scaled up the Panchro’s distinctive aesthetic – which is a mix of vintage artistry and cutting-edge precision – to at last bring the hallmark ‘Cooke Look’ to an expanded format. The series comprises 30mm, 40mm, 55mm, 75mm, 100mm and 152mm models, each one priced at £16,000/$23,000. Their maximum apertures range from T2.5 to T2.9, with all lenses stopping down to T22.
As the only 65mm smart lens series featuring Cooke’s /i Technology, the Panchro 65/i integrates into today’s data-driven workflows, ensuring precise metadata capture for post-production and VFX.
