Overview
The Cooke SP3 18mm T2.4 Cinema Lens with E-Mount is an ultra-wide spherical prime that covers Full Frame sensors. Ultra-wide coverage takes in a full setting from a short distance, which suits establishing shots, tight interiors, and vehicle work where the camera cannot be moved back. A fast T2.4 aperture lets camera operators separate subjects from their backgrounds or get the most out of available lighting when filming in darker environments, and the lens closes to T16. It uses an E-Mount, RF-Mount, L-Mount, Leica M-Mount, and Z-Mount with manual focus. The focus barrel is marked in both feet and meters.

Key Features
Ultra-Wide Full Frame Coverage
The lens covers Full Frame sensors, projecting a 43.3 mm image circle. An ultra-wide field of view keeps interiors, vehicle mounts, and establishing shots workable from close in, where there is no room to move the camera back.
T2.4 Maximum Aperture
At T2.4 the lens separates subjects cleanly from their backgrounds and gets the most out of available lighting when filming in darker environments. It closes to T16.
160° Focus Throw
Its 160° focus throw is short, racking quickly from close focus to infinity — fast to operate and forgiving for a solo operator, at the cost of finer separation between distance marks.
Dual-Marked Focus Scale
The barrel carries both feet and meters, letting the lens drop into either workflow without anyone converting figures at the cart.
User-Interchangeable Mount
The mount can be swapped by the owner, letting one lens follow a camera package across bodies rather than staying tied to whichever mount it shipped with. That matters most to owner-operators buying into a system they expect to change.
Focus & Handling
12.3 cm Minimum Focus
Mount & Rig Integration
0.8-Pitch Cine Gears
The lens carries 0.8-pitch cine gears, the standard pitch for follow focus units and lens motors. Compatibility with lens control systems lets a solo operator make consistent, repeatable focus pulls, or a camera assistant control the lens remotely.
82mm Front Diameter
The front element measures 82mm, which fits a compact matte box directly and steps up to a 114 mm clamp with an adapter ring. Matte box fit follows from this measurement rather than from the filter thread, since the clamp grips the outside of the barrel.
77mm Filter Thread
The front accepts 77mm screw-in filters behind an 82mm front element. A matte box clamps to the outside diameter instead, which is what most cine setups use to avoid re-threading filters between lenses.
