MORE INFO

This incredible zoom covers all the focal lengths of a set of primes at a fast T3. It is sharp, but has that smooth, flattering Cooke look and awesome wide-open performance. With an amazing minimum focus distance of 2' 4", this lens can get extreme close-ups. At wide focal lengths the lens has ZERO breathing and at longer focal lengths it's extremely minimal.

This lens makes fantastic images, and there’s a reason half the films of the 20th and 21st centuries have been shot with Cooke lenses. Also worth noting, the 18-100 pairs really well with the popular vintage Cooke Speed Panchros, having similar color and contrast. This is the most current version of this classic lens, and it's in perfect optical and mechanical condition.

"I would judge the Cooke 18 - 100mm as one of the very best zoom lenses. When I carry a zoom, which admittedly is not that often, it is usually this lens."

- Roger Deakins

NOTE: this is a large, heavy lens, that requires a studio bridge plate and dovetail plate. It will not work with 15mm LWS systems.

NOTE: We highly recommend using the Veydra 1.2x expander with this lens to get better sensor coverage on cameras with sensors larger than Super 35 like Alexa Mini Open Gate and RED Gemini, Dragon, Helium. The Veydra allows lenses like these to cover much larger sensors with virtually no loss of image quality and only 1/4 stop of light loss!
