Cooke miniS4/i is the latest range of lenses from Cooke Optics.

What Cooke heard from the industry

While many DPs prefer to specify Cooke lenses to take advantage of the Cooke look as well as the on-set usability and reliable operation, cost has sometimes been a barrier.

In addition many purchasers of digital cameras like Red also want a full set of lenses at a realistic price.

We also wanted to open up the opportunity to use Cooke lenses in risky situations such as on-board stunt work; lower costs lenses reduce rental and insurance costs.

S4 Quality Deserves the S4 Name

Cooke's goal has been to deliver a smaller, lighter lens which offers the same resolution, optical quality and reliability as the S4/i, but at a lower price. We decided that the lenses should be equally suitable for shooting film and digital images up to and beyond a 4K resolution pipeline.

In addition the lenses include /i Technology, providing lens data per frame for downstream post production.

Like the S4/i lenses, the miniS4/i’s are designed for motion photography and they don't breathe.

The lenses are one stop slower than the S4/i, as a result they can be smaller and lighter.

All Cooke lenses are colour matched. This means miniS4/i and S4/i lenses can be mixed on a shoot with full confidence that the images will match.

Built on our 100 years of experience of what works for filmmakers, the miniS4/i's are 100% Cooke products manufactured by Cooke to their traditional high standards in Leicester, England. You choose Cooke, you get Cooke.
