This Cooke 32mm T2.3 Anamorphic/i Prime Lens PL Mountfeatures the classic, natural yet sharp "Cooke look" in an anamorphic format. One of Cooke's extensive Anamorphic/i series, the 32mm prime incorporates an 11-blade iris for cinematic-looking, 2:1 oval bokeh. Designed for use with both digital cinema and film cameras, the Cooke Anamorphic/i primes provide a 2x squeeze and cover image formats up to Super35. For maximum optical performance, aberration, flare, and distortion correction extend over the entire image area, and throughout the 32mm's T2.3-22 aperture range. The Anamorphic/i primes are color-matched with Cooke's S4/i, 5/i, and mini S4/i series of prime lenses.

Each Anamorphic/i prime sports both a hardened PL mount and a cable connection that uses Cooke's /i Technology to transmit lens data to compatible cameras. Lens setting data including focal length, aperture, focus, and depth-of-field, are provided in both feet and metric measurements.

The 32mm Anamorphic/i Prime Lens features a 22" minimum focus distance, focus marks in feet and meters, a relatively light weight of 7.1 lb, and a compact length of 7.7". The lens is constructed with 0.8 MOD geared focus and iris rings for use with follow focus, zoom control, and wireless FIZ systems. A large lens barrel, an increased number of focus marks, and Cooke's cam-style focus movement enable precise focus pulls. Focus marks are clearly visible and engraved on the lens barrel in both feet and meters.

Q: 9. Does the lens work with the RED DIGITAL RF-PL adapter with ND electronic filters?

A: Information taken from the RED website states the following: The RED RF-PL Adapter w/Electronic ND Filter supports PL lenses with both Cooke /i as well as providing power and record triggering with compatible lenses. While the vast majority of PL lenses are compatible with the RED RF-PL Adapter w/ Electronic ND Filter, a small selection of PL lenses are not compatible due to their rear protrusion depth. aution should be taken with lenses that have extreme protrusion rear elements. Maximum Protrusion Depth with Straight 45.60mm Diameter: 21.60 mm Maximum Protrusion Depth with Straight 54mm Diameter: 20.40 mm   Please reference RED's documentation on this for iluustrations explaining such. https://support.red.com/hc/en-us/articles/15475477512467?input_string=red+pl+nd+adapter
