Cooke Anamorphic/i Lens Set Just Got Smarter – Perfect for VFX
At 247kit.tv, we’re proud to offer cutting-edge lens hire in London Our Cooke Anamorphic S6/i S35 lens set just got a serious upgrade to the i2 Processor Board. Fresh from the Cooke Optics factory in Leicester, these lenses have been fully serviced and are now equipped with the latest i2 Technology electronic boards.
In fact, we’re the first in the world to have this new generation of i2 boards installed on an anamorphic lens set, making them ideal for productions relying heavily on VFX and post-production.
What is /i Technology?
Cooke’s /i Technology is a powerful metadata system embedded directly into the lens. It enables compatible cinema cameras to automatically record precise lens data with every frame — a massive advantage for VFX-heavy productions.

-
Frame-by-frame metadata recording (up to 285 fps)

Real-time optical parameter data (focus distance, T-stop, field of view, and more)
-
Switchable metric/imperial readouts
-
Plug-and-play compatibility — no manual data entry or setup required
