AP3 FF 50mm T2.4 1.5x Anamorphic

Cooke has entered the 1.5x anamorphic space with the AP3 FF 50mm T2.4, a lens designed specifically for full-frame mirrorless systems. The AP3 series aims to deliver Cooke's signature optical character in a lighter, more compact package than traditional 2x anamorphics, making it a natural fit for gimbal work, handheld shooting, and smaller production footprints. The T2.4 aperture is fast enough for low-light documentary and narrative work while keeping size and weight manageable.

Interchangeable mounts add flexibility for owners working across Sony E, Canon RF, and L-mount ecosystems. The 1.5x squeeze factor splits the difference between spherical and classic 2x anamorphic looks, offering horizontal flares and elliptical bokeh without the extreme distortion or wide aspect ratio that can complicate framing and post. At 50mm, this focal length serves as a workhorse for interviews, medium shots, and environmental portraiture, especially for solo shooters and small teams who need versatility without the weight penalty of cinema anamorphics.
