The premium lens maker Cooke Optics just unveiled that the company plans to launch its brand new S7/i Full Frame Plus prime lens range at the upcoming NAB 2017. Unlike the Cooke S4 and S5 lines, the S7/i primes are specifically tailored towards larger full frame cinema camera sensors covering the full sensor area (46.31mm image circle) of the RED Weapon 8K.
The new lens lineup will be available in 18, 25, 32, 40, 50, 75, 100 and 135mm and is scheduled to ship in June 2017. All Cooke S7/i Primes have a consistent T2.0 aperture throughout the whole range and cover 35/Super 35mm, Full Frame and beyond.

Furthermore, the optics are designed to give maximum performance at full aperture with superior control of flare, distortion and spherical aberration. All Cooke S7/i Primes feature a common fixed front diameter of 110mm, a nine-leaf linear module iris assembly as each lens has an average weight of approximately 3.5kg.
The entire S7/i range is also color matched to Anamorphic/i, S4/i, miniS4/i, 5/i and Pancro/i Classic lenses, plus all lenses will be able to cover the massive Arri Alexa 65 sensor when shooting in the smaller 16:9 mode. Just like all modern Cooke cine lenses for film and digital capture, the S7/i primes come equipped with the proprietary /i Technology for frame by frame digital information capture.
