Matt Pacini Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 I haven't used any Cooke's, but I'm thinking of maybe picking up a 17.5mm T2 & a 25mm T2 for my CP-16R (since I can't find any of the CP Ultra-Primes in those focal lengths). I've heard some of you speak highly of Cooke lenses, but are they all terrific, or are these older softer lenses, or what? Matt Pacini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floyd Diebel Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 I've heard some of you speak highly of Cooke lenses, but are they all terrific, or are these older softer lenses, or what? hey matt! i have a cooke 25mm (T2.2 i think) for my 16 kit, and it is a bit soft. not as bad as some other old lenses though. hope your movie's going well.

Nate Downes Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 My Cooke beats my Wollensak to a pulp, but is still soft when compared to my Leica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Neary Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 I had a set of Cooke Speed Panchros for an Arri 35, and I really liked their quality- sharp, but soft in the way they handled contrast and color. I kind of miss them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Floyd. Great to hear from ya! I'm done shooting, but still working the bugs out of my film scanner, so I'm not finished editing yet. I keep meaning to drop by & surprise (annoy) you, but I haven't been to the "mall" for quite a while. Hope you're doing well. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
