These true T1.4 aperture lenses cover a Super 35mm format and offer the superb optical and mechanical performance Cooke has been known for. However, the most unique aspect of this new 5/i series is a focus ring that illuminates, allowing the focus puller to see in the dark and not have to rely on any outside light sources. A dimmer enables the level of illumination to be adjusted.

Clairmont Camera is the first rental house in the nation to have these advanced technology lenses. Available in 18, 25, 32, 40, 50, 65, 75, 100 and 135mm sizes, the Cooke 5/i are color balanced and compatible with other Cooke lenses, including the S4/i, Panchro by Cooke, 18-100mm T3.0 and 25-250mm T3.7 and the SK4 16mm lenses.

The Cooke 5/i lenses offer an exposure range from T1.4 to T22, have a closer minimum focus than S4 lenses, and come with independent metric and footage scales.
