Exciting news! Cooke Optics will be unveiling the latest Anamorphic/i Full Frame 85mm Macro lens at BSC Expo in just a couple of weeks.
During BSC Expo, Cooke Optics will reveal the Anamorphic/i Full Frame 85mm Macro with both Standard coating and SF (Special Flair) coating. Cooke’s Anamorphic/i FF line of lenses includes the following focal lengths: 32mm, 40mm, 50mm, 75mm, 100mm, 135mm, 180mm and now the new 85mm Macro. All focal lengths feature a 1.8x squeeze and a T2.3 stop, with the exception of the 85mm Macro, which is T2.8.
Cooke took “funky” to the next level with the Anamorphic/i SF primes, creating a vintage effect without the hassle of vintage lens stress and drama. Key characteristics include oval bokeh and a more enhanced blue flare.

Also making an appearance at BSC Expo will be the S7/i Full Frame Plus primes – a great spherical option for full frame. These lenses are designed to cover the emergent full frame cinema camera sensors up to at least the full sensor area of the RED Weapon 8K. As with the Anamorphic/i FF+ range, the S7/i lenses come equipped with /i Technology for frame-by-frame digital information capture.
The recently released Anamorphic/i SF 35mm-140mm zoom lens will also be on display at the expo as well as lenses from the Panchro/i Classic prime range. These offer the vintage look of the beloved Speed Panchros, but with the added benefits of modern housing, mounts, and glass.
Other lens sets to be on display include the Cooke S4/i and mini S4/i lenses with and without coatings. Cooke lenses will also be able to be seen on a number of camera manufacturer and reseller stands at the show, which include Canon, Panasonic, Sony and RED.
Pricing and delivery for the new Anamorphic/i FF+ 85mm Macro are not available at this time. Place your pre-order deposit for the 85mm with Standard coatings or with Special Flair coatings today with Duclos Lenses.
