The Cooke Speed Panchro S2 lenses are among the most legendary vintage cine optics, developed in the 1950s as an evolution of the original Panchros. They introduced advanced coating techniques and rare-earth glass elements to reduce reflections and enhance contrast. Their look is soft, organic, and ideal for those seeking a classic, timeless cinematic aesthetic.
Known for their distinctive Cooke Look, these lenses offer gentle sharpness with slightly warm tones, particularly flattering for skin tones. The bokeh is smooth and natural, while slight vignetting and subtle distortion add character to the image. This unique rendering has stood the test of time and remains highly sought after in modern productions.
For those seeking an authentic, imperfect vintage look, the Speed Panchro S2 are unmatched. They have character, soul, and a unique charm.
For Full-Frame productions, the Cooke SP3 offer a great alternative. They bring the signature Cooke look into the modern era, making them ideal for those who want vintage character combined with contemporary technology.
