The 135mm S4/i T2 Prime Lens from Cooke features optimal optical performance, /i Technology lens data transfer, and an ergonomic mechanical design with smooth, cam-based focus adjustments. This 135mm lens incorporates an aperture range of T2.0 to T22, focus scales marked in both feet and meters, and color matching with other modern Cooke cine-style lenses. The S4/i lenses minimize flare, distortion, veiling glare, and spherical aberrations even at the full aperture setting. The S4/i lenses are PL-mounted, making them compatible with most professional cine-style cameras.

Cooke's /i Technology provides a wealth of lens data crucial for matching shots, VFX work, and post-production. Metadata parameters include focal length, focus distance, lens aperture, depth of field, hyperfocal distance, the lens serial number, and more. A modular design ensures easier maintenance and servicing of the S4/i lens series.

Maximum optical performance even at full aperture, with superior control of flare, distortion, and spherical aberration.

Contacts in the mount sync with /i compatible cameras and accessories, providing lens data including focusing distance, aperture, depth of field, hyperfocal distance, serial number, owner data, lens type, and focal length in both meters and feet.

All Cooke S4/i prime lenses are color balanced to match all modern Cooke lenses.

Designed with a fast maximum T2.0 aperture and Super35 format coverage.

Every index mark is labeled, enabling more precise focus control.

An award-winning cam-style focus movement is paired with a large lens barrel diameter, enabling smooth focus pulling with an increased number of focus markings, particularly at close focus. Spherical aberration has been controlled, eliminating compensation of changes in back focus with aperture, and a four-point contact bearing provides backlash-free movement.

Focus marks are engraved in large, clear numerals in feet on one side of the barrel and in meters on the other.

A common front diameter of 110mm across most of the S4/i lenses enables quick lens changes when working with matte boxes and adapters.

An eight-blade linear iris provides an aperture range of T2.0 to T22.

A scratch-resistant, anodized finish provides a durable, hard-wearing surface to meet the most demanding environmental conditions.

Q: 8. Is this a Tamron design , just like the other Batis lenses?Is there any original Zeiss designs for the Batis series like in the Loxia series?

A: All major lens manufacturers collaborate. To call any Zeiss lens a Tamron lens, etc., is to misunderstand what goes into the many different processes of design, engineering and manufacturing of a lens.
