Are you in LA?

I had a professor in film school who was shooting a film and when I asked her what she was shooting on, she said "Cookes". Before camera, she singled out the lenses. Truly an industry standard tool!

Once you shoot on Cooke's you'll understand why they are industry standard. Just beautiful optics and imagery.

One benefit of the Cooke MiniS4s is that they have smooth round bokeh at t/2.8 since that’s their max aperture. :) The images is gorgeous especially at minimum focus distance.

Adding the on location reporting to this documentary made it really great!

I’ll admit it! Sometimes when I order something from CVP or chat with the costumer service I am imaging that Jake is on there other end typing or carefully packing my order and that makes it beter!

I hadn't head about the slight defocus of the red wavelengths in the secondary spectrum before. One of the key aspects of the Cooke look I thought was a spherical focus plane that gives the focus point more '3D pop'.

Shot a pilot on Cooke Anamorphics with an ARRI LF. It was a period piece so we added pro mist and glimmer glass and now I’m head over heals in love with the combo ❤ most shows I work on can’t afford cookes 😅

this is the best film channel. I love hearing you talk. So calming.

Panchros are best lenses for my taste for sure

One thing I would love is a comparison video between S4s and sets of Dulens, DZO, Meike and so on like "what set of affordable lenses is the closest to the Cooke Look". (might be counter productive for a store carrying Cooke lenses, I know :p)

Very cool video! Maybe you could do something similar with Zeiss (and Arri)?

It's really amazing that we have a lens manufacturer! I wish they made some more affordable ones though, haha. I would love to see the image from these next to a Lumix S 1.8 lens though

Modern lenses are made for brick wall comparison, this is the most important thing for the masses and dxo mark. sharpness. similar is the megapixel race with cameras. If you want lenses with character the cheapest you can get are Leica R´s.

Loveeee this kind of video! Can we get a similar one on some Arri and Leitz Cine lenses? Cheers!

I remember I DPd a couple projects with S4s in film school, and I always loved the look

Title Suggestion: *How Cooke Lenses Became Hollywood's Favorite*

Is this my chance to rep the SLR Magic APO Microprimes!? Obviously not the same, not exactly the same bokeh, but still REALLY REALLY pleasing. We’re using them with a Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera. We have some stuff up on KZread under Plum Tree Cinema if anyone feels like taking a look

Very nicely put together, can we hear more from Ben Cridge.

Would be great if you made a video about the cooke s7i lenses, No one on youtube even mentions them.

I think that Cooke may expand their business from cinematography to photography. As of this moment the closest one can get to achieving the Cooke look in photography is Light Lens Lab's take on the Speed Panchro.

great video (as always)!

wow awesome i never new we made such lenses in England i thought we were way behind

Infomrative video Thanks CVP.

Awesome video! Would love to see a video on the new modern FF Panchro lenses.

Woooo Leicester! Didn't know they were based here :D That's awesome

Is there a big difference between these and the mini version?

I love Cooke lenses, the S4's in particular. Cooke does a great job of avoiding the modern hyper clinical look without going overboard on the "imperfections". Their only downside for me is their size and weight, but it's usually worth it for the build quality. Spherical lenses tend to all look so similar that even an experienced DP will have a hard time separating them, if they can at all. Panavision is the only other brand I can think of making spherical lenses that provide a unique and noticeable look.

Great video. Been wanting to get my hands on Cine Lens Manual

I appreciate you putting me in the thumbnail

is there a way to show us side by side S4 vs S8 in an outdoor environment, daylight

what is the difference between the S7/i & Panchro/i other than the aperture?

Surprised you didn't mention the s4/i zoom which is the same speed as the primes

can you uses and LPL mount for the red v raptor?

Honestly, I'm excited to not use them. They seem a bit overrated based on this. More legacy than genuine character quality. Great review as always.

In my country, this book costs 200$... it seems excessively expensive to me. On the other hand, I would love to have it.

@@305kubrick Ah, I know what you mean: SIGMA'S CEO recently mentioned this "3D vintage look" thing in an interview he gave to DPREVIEW. He said SIGMA analysed what exactly movie makers meant by their request for this lens characteristic and discovered that this terminology is simply their way of saying "spherical distortion". Obviously something so simple CAN be added in post. I guess it'll be more an issue of not overdoing the effect and using it in moderation instead.

I worked in a rental house and I have to be honest, apart from their solid construction there isn't much difference between the Cooke and the cheaper Rokinon Ds. Like many things in this industry they are highly overrated and idolized in a religious way. In what if they are incomparable is in increasing the price of a production and of course feeding technicians like me. 😅
