Overview
The Cooke SP3 18mm is an exciting addition to the other 5 lenses in the SP3 set, providing cinematographers with an opportunity to expand their creativity with a wider focal length as an addition. All six lenses are reminiscent of Cooke Panchro Classic FF lenses, delivering the imitable sharpness and focus fall of that makes this series so popular.
The SP3 Lenses are closely based on Speed Panchro lenses, the classic Cooke lenses who were Hollywood workhorses for years. SP3 have the Cooke Look, which provides heightened dimensionality and contrast that renders images with greater realism. Faces render beautifully with believable skin tones and character. Bring a cinematic look to your pro-video productions with the soft image fall off these lenses provide.
Versatile Design:
SP3 provides an accessible Cooke option which can bring a new world of cinematic imaging to users of mirrorless cameras. They are Cooke's lightest lenses and can be easily used on lighter weight gimbals (such as Ronin). The lightweight, robust construction and mechanics mean these lenses will put up with the rigors of fast paced shooting. These are the lightest Full Frame lenses Cooke has ever produced, which makes them the most suitable Cooke lenses for flying on drones. The lenses match perfectly with Cooke Panchro/i Classics, allowing you use them as a companion lenses when a small footprint is required.
