These are original Cooke Speed Panchro optics from the mid-20th century – lenses that defined the “Cooke Look”. They render softly, warmly and with low contrast, with subtle flares and flattering skin tones, especially at full aperture.
The P+S Technik conversion brings a PL mount, compact bodies with 80 mm front diameter, 250° focus rotation and 0.8 MOD gear with fixed stops. Coverage is Super 35, smaller at the widest focal lengths – we recommend a test with your specific camera.
