Cooke S4/i Lenses

The Cooke S4/i focal lengths range from 12mm to 300mm, all with an aperture of T2 and close focus distances ranging from 9 inches to 7 feet. Colour matched and compatible with most lenses in the Cooke line, the S4 offers excellent optical and mechanical performance with minimal veiling glare, ghosting, and reflections.

Specifically designed for all PL mounted professional motion picture film and electronic cameras, the /i Technology provides the easy reference to  information about lens settings (e.g., focus distance, aperture, depth-of-field, hyperfocal distance, etc.). Panavision stocks both ranges of Cooke S4's.

Zeiss Master Primes and Ultra Primes

Zeiss Master Primes offer focal lengths ranging from 14mm to 150mm, all with an aperture of T1.3 and close focus distances ranging from 14 inches to 4 feet 11 inches. These lenses combine high contrast and resolution, even field illumination, negligible veiling glare, and virtually no breathing.

The focal lengths of the Zeiss Ultra Primes range from 10mm to 180mm, with apertures ranging from T1.7 to T2.3 and close focus distances ranging from 9 inches to 8 ½ feet. These lenses combine high contrast and resolution and even field illumination.
