Yann-Manuel Hernandez Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 (edited) This would be a amazing lens for the RED 2K, Blackmagic Pocket Camera, Digital Bolex or S16 film camera. The glass has no scratches, coating marks, cleaning marks and is in perfect condition. Mechanically, the lens is very solid and smooth all the way around. It' a Arri B mount that can be adapted to any other mount. This lens was converted to Super16mm by OPTEX, which is considered the best in the industry. The Cooke 10.8 - 60mm was the Super16mm equivalent of the Cooke 9-50mm zoom. This lens is known for these exceptional qualities: - This Cooke lens "breaths" very, very little, so there is no image shift when focusing (the Zeiss 10-100mm was known to breath, and wasn't well regarded in that manner). The Cooke has complete internal focusing, so the outer barrel does rotate or shift upon focus.- This Cooke lens has a close focus of 1.6 ft, which means you can focus a few inches from the front of the lens. This is opposed to many zoom lenses that have a close focus of 5 ft.- But perhaps the best feature of theses Cooke Zooms (compared say something like a Zeiss lens), is in regards to using them with digital sensors. It has the "Cooke look" , which is much kinder on the skin of the actors. It also really helps to take the harsh digital edge off of the digital sensor image, and many feel this is why it feels more 'filmic'. The lens is in perfect shape and has been verified one year ago by an Aaton specialist in Montreal. Since, it has been use only once for a fiction film. Everything works as it should. It's been used with care. I sell it for 3,900$ US (negotiable) + shipping fee (international). It comes with a metallic case, lens & mount cap. I ship from Montreal, QC, Canada.
