For over 100 years, Cooke has been at the centre of the filmmaking business. We’ve
been listening to the community of which we are a part. We lead by introducing
innovative lenses and support products, like /i Technology because we know that
our success is built on a simple idea—do what the filmmaker needs.
Our factory in Leicester, England has generations from the same family working side by side.
That experience is unbeaten anywhere. We manufacture a full range of primes and zooms for
35mm and digital photography, as well as large format stills lenses.
We know our customers, and they know us, as individuals. Our rental partners do their
training next to the craftsman who built their lenses. There are no barriers. We meet our
customers at trade shows, on location around the world, and we welcome customers by
appointment to our factory in the U.K. for an informal tour and discussion.
Our quality is monitored at every stage of
manufacturing. Our Quality Control technicians
carry out a 20 point check to ensure that the
lenses leaving our factory are made to the
highest quality possible. We’re intolerant when
it comes to tolerances. We research continuously
to drive innovation. Our lenses are dependable
and practical in use on the set; our optics superb.
The lenses are straightforward to maintain—which
is why so many rental facilities carry our products.
We don’t stop until we get each lens within
our very tight specification. We get it right,
whatever it takes.
At the heart of what makes Cooke special is “The Cooke Look.” The Cooke Look® is about
the science of creating beautiful images for the motion picture industry.
As a result, for over a century, cinematographers have chosen Cooke lenses for a smooth
roundness and dimensionality to the picture and for the velvety skin tones that flatter.
