Cook miniS4/I lens range will be available for MFT too

Looks like everyone is making Cine Lenses nowadays! Cooke just announced their miniS4/I lens range will be available for MFT too:

Cooke Optics, the multi-award winning manufacturer of precision lenses for film and television, is pleased to announce that it is introducing multiple mounts for its acclaimed miniS4/i lenses, enabling more cameras and productions to benefit from the ‘Cooke Look®’. The new mounts, including Canon EF, Nikon F, Sony E and micro 4/3, will be available to view at IBC 2016 on Stand 12.D10 and will ship from October 2016.

A single mount will fit every focal length lens in the miniS4/i series. For existing miniS4/i lenses, users can simply unbolt the PL mount that comes as standard, bolt on the replacement mount, and shim as required. The mounts can be used on any miniS4/i lens, regardless of delivery date. For new miniS4/i deliveries, starting from October 2016, the lenses will be available with the mount of choice from the factory. The mounts are designed for the MIRRORless cameras.

Les Zellan, Chairman and Owner, Cooke Optics, said, “The miniS4/i lenses are steadily gaining popularity for many genres of production, since they have all the coveted attributes of Cooke prime lenses in a smaller, lighter and more affordable form. With the introduction of these interchangeable mounts, we can now bring the Cooke Look to many more cameras and productions, giving even more choice to directors of photography.”

miniS4/i lenses were recently used to shoot the popular UK TV drama Midsomer Murders and the Spanish feature film El Pregon.
Cooke will also show the new 35-140mm Anamorphic/i zoom lens at IBC 2016, alongside a variety of Anamorphic/i, 5/i, S4/i and miniS4/i lenses.

Anonymous:Upcoming OMD EM1 + PRO 12-40mm f/2.8 kit sale. My local (USA) dealer told me yesterday that Olympus will be offering the subject bundle for $1400 within a month or so. Quite a bargain as they try to clear out EM-1 inventory.

Fredrik:I made a video comparing ISO from 400 – 6400 on skin tones with the GX85 and the Nocticron 42,5mm. I think it looks very good up to 1600. From 3200 and up you should consider applying some noise reduction.

Thomas:Hi Andrea, I was recently testing the GX8 in Hamburgs “entertainment” district and also made a comparison of the GX8 and GX80/85 in London. My point of view is how these cams work in street photography…
