A new 1.5x mirrorless anamorphic lens series from Cooke

Cooke AP3 - Bring more to your story

We are pleased to announce Cooke AP3, an exciting new 1.5x anamorphic prime lens series engineered for mirrorless cameras. 

AP3 brings the optical pedigree of Cooke's high-end anamorphic lineage into a compact, lightweight series built for modern mirrorless cameras. The optical philosophy balances controlled anamorphic character with the clarity and dependability that modern filmmaking demands.

AP3 features three focal lengths: 35mm / 50mm / 85mm. As a three-way set, AP3 offers a complete anamorphic solution; as a single-lens purchase it pairs naturally with an existing package for those building out a mixed kit. 

The 1.5x squeeze factor delivers the characteristics that epitomise anamorphic imaging while supporting a controlled, consistent image and strong wide-open performance. 

The lenses feature a user-interchangeable mount so you can adapt easily to suit your specific camera kits. The lenses are fitted E with the option of a second mount (RF, L or M) free of charge.

Timeless character, modern design

AP3 brings the optical pedigree of Cooke's high-end anamorphic lineage into a compact, lightweight series built for modern mirrorless cameras. Balanced, purposeful and with the cinematic depth and character you'd expect from Cooke.

AP3's flare character is unmistakably anamorphic and entirely yours to work with. These are not manufactured effects or simplistic overlays; they are organic responses to light that adapt and embed themselves within a scene. Defocus rendering is smooth and gradual - offering genuine dimension. 

Transitions between focus planes have an organic continuity that feels closer to how we experience depth in real life. AP3's bokeh is a product of its ground-up design. As a true 1.5x anamorphic lens it renders out-of-focus elements with a painterly quality that draws the eye but doesn't distract.
