Cooke SP3 32mm T2.4 Full-Frame Prime Lens (E-Mount)
Cooke SP3 T2.4 Full-Frame Prime Lens (E-Mount)
Cooke SP3 is an exciting new prime lens series based on one of the most influential lenses in film history, Speed Panchro. SP3 is a completely new design optimised - optically and mechanically - for full-frame mirrorless cameras. SP3 will enable more creatives to enhance the visual narrative of their stories.
Cooke SP3 combines resolution and colour to transmit a character’s emotion in a more believable way. The calibrated on-axis sharpness off the SP3 optical design subtly draws the viewers’ attention to the centre of the image to produce an experience subconsciously familiar to human vision.
A sharpness designed into the centre of the image is complimented by a gentle focus fall-off towards the frame edge offering the DOP extra dimensionality to shape the image. A core imaging effect of using the SP3 is that these lenses are sharp on the optical axis, which translates to being sharp in the centre of the image. This is complimented by a delicate fall-off towards the edge of the frame mimicking the way the human eye sees the world.
