Cooke Panchro Classic
The Cooke Panchro Classic lenses are a modern reimagining of the classic Cooke Speed Panchro lenses from the mid-20th century. These lenses combine the vintage look and feel of the original Speed Panchros with modern optical design and manufacturing techniques, offering filmmakers the best of both worlds.
Optically, the Cooke Panchro Classic lenses deliver a distinctive vintage look characterized by warm, organic colors, gentle contrast roll-off, and subtle aberrations. They produce images with a soft and flattering rendering that is reminiscent of classic Hollywood cinematography, making them popular choices for filmmakers seeking to evoke a nostalgic aesthetic.
Despite their vintage-inspired design, Cooke Panchro Classic lenses feature modern optical coatings and precision engineering, ensuring excellent sharpness, clarity, and resolution. These lenses perform exceptionally well even when used wide open, delivering consistent image quality across the frame.
