Our Thoughts
The Cooke 1.8x FF+ SF Anamorphic lenses combine Cooke’s legendary optical craftsmanship with a bold, expressive anamorphic character designed for modern large-format cinematography. Covering full-frame sensors with a 1.8x squeeze, these lenses deliver a beautifully balanced widescreen image—retaining classic anamorphic personality while optimizing resolution and coverage for today’s high-end digital cameras.
​
The “SF” (Special Flair) coating enhances flare character with increased intensity and color separation, producing striking horizontal streaks and atmospheric veiling that can be dialed in creatively depending on lighting conditions. At the same time, the lenses maintain the unmistakable Cooke Look—warm skin tones, gentle contrast roll-off, and a smooth, dimensional rendering that feels organic and cinematic. Oval bokeh, elegant focus falloff, and subtle distortion add depth and emotion without overpowering the frame.
​
Engineered for professional productions, the Cooke 1.8x FF+ SF series features robust modern housings, precise focus mechanics, and /i Technology lens data support for seamless integration into VFX and post workflows. The consistent build, matched color, and uniform gear placement across the set ensure reliability on narrative features, commercials, and prestige television. Whether capturing intimate character moments or expansive cinematic vistas, the Cooke 1.8x FF+ SF Anamorphics offer a refined yet expressive widescreen aesthetic that blends classic artistry with contemporary performance.
