The two lenses cover a full wide-to-telephoto focal-length range and provide a fast T2.4 aperture to satisfy just about all lighting environments while using up to full-frame sensors. They create soft, natural bokeh and shallow depth of field using an 11-blade iris. Using an internal system with minimal focus breathing, they create smooth focal transitions and maintain accurate color rendition for sharp detail and warm cinema-like looks that make skin tones even more stunning. The glass is coated to shield certain light rays from ghosting and flaring, and it also corrects chromatic aberration so colors will not bleed or flatten, making the lenses ideal for vivid HDR color reproduction

One of the most attractive features on both lenses is the constant T2.4 aperture throughout its entire zoom range, allowing consistent light onto the sensor. The PL-mount lens model includes support for Cooke /i lens metadata to be communicated from the lens, allowing you to record lens data right into your footage, as well as utilizing it for focus, lighting, and FX workflow functions.

Each lens weighs less than 8 lb and measures just under 10" in length, making either easy to transport and fit into any camera rig setup. They feature standard 0.8 MOD cinema gearing to accommodate most industry matte boxes and follow focus motors, and they feature luminous lens markings in metric and imperial measurements to accommodate worldwide productions.
