Our Cooke Mini S4/i lenses are a versatile set of eight* Super 35-ready focal lengths (18mm to 135mm), delivering the same elevated optical quality and the signature “Cooke Look” as the full-size S4/i series: sharp, yet smooth imagery with excellent control over flare, distortion, and spherical aberration - all in a more compact, lightweight format. Built with precision mechanics, they offer smooth, accurate focus control, factory-calibrated focus scales, standardised 0.8 module gears, and durable finishes for rugged shooting scenarios. Most lenses share a fixed front diameter of 87mm (except the 18mm at 110mm), making them compatible and easy to swap between setups.
These lenses also boast Cooke’s /i Technology which delivers critical metadata (like focus and iris position, distortion and shading maps for every frame) streamlining modern VFX and virtual-production workflows. With an eight-leaf linear iris offering an aperture range from T2.8 to T22, robust PL-mount construction, and consistently matched colour across the Cooke lineup, the Mini S4/i lenses are dependable, performance-driven tools tailored for professional storytellers. Only a stop slower than our full-size Cooke S4 lenses, these are an enticing budget-friendly alternative with very few compromises.
*Our standard set includes 7 lenses, with the 135mm that can be added on request as an additional extra.
