Cooke Optics present first shipping sets of Anamorphic i lenses at NAB 04

Cooke Optics, the multi-award winning manufacturer of precision lenses for film and television, is pleased to announce that it is now shipping the first sets of its Anamorphic/i range. The Anamorphic/i lenses will be available for demonstration on Stand C6144 at NAB 2014, together with Cookes range of miniS4/i, S4/i, and 5/i lenses and the Cooke Metrology lens test projector.

We promised at NAB 2013 that we would be delivering our Anamorphic/i lenses by NAB 2014, and we are, said Les Zellan, Chairman and Owner Cooke Optics. We recently released some test footage shot by John de Borman BSC and Patrick Blossier using Anamorphic/i lenses on an ARRI Alexa Studio camera, and the reaction to the optical quality and beauty of the pictures has been fantastic.

The footage, as well as the 32mm, 40mm, 50mm, 75mm and 100mm Anamorphic/i lenses, will be available to view on the stand. The Anamorphic/i lenses, which are approximately the size of Cookes industry standard S4/i lenses, retain the Cooke Look , are colour matched with the Cooke 5/i, S4/i and miniS4/i ranges, and come equipped with /i Technology to capture lens metadata. The 25mm and 135mm lenses will be available later in the year.

Cooke will also demonstrate its range of S4/i lenses, which were used by cinematographer Sean Bobbitt BSC to shoot the Academy Award -winning feature film 12 Years A Slave, as well as the miniS4/i and 5/i lens ranges.

Cooke continues to develop its Metrology line of lens testing equipment and will have its lens test projector on the NAB stand. Progress also continues apace in the development of /i Squared, the next generation of /i Technology, which is planned for release later in the year. /i Squared will include all the existing /i Technology commands as well as inertial tracking data to greatly enhance the metadatas usefulness to Post Production and VFX teams.
