Cooke Optics, a privately owned company headquartered in the UK, was founded in 1893 and operates with approximately 150 employees. The company reported $29.4M in revenue as of 2024. Specializing in content acquisition, the company manufactures cinematography lenses and optics for the motion picture, television, and advertising industries. It offers a range of primes and zooms for 35mm, digital, and Super 16mm photography, in addition to large format stills lenses.
On March 9, 2026, Cooke Optics published a tribute for International Women's Day, acknowledging positive changes and increased recognition for women in the film and television industry. This followed an event Cooke hosted on March 5, which it announced on February 20, in London titled "In conversation: Women behind the lens." The event featured a panel of female cinematographers discussing authorship, leadership, and necessary industry shifts. Previously, on February 11, 2026, Cooke partnered with EZtrack to develop a lens metadata workflow for filmmakers and directors of photography, enabling post-production to begin live during shooting. This technology was highlighted in a behind-the-scenes look at the forthcoming film *Comandante*, narrated by VFX Designer Kevin Tod Haug. In December 2025, product photographer Phil Sills explored the character of the Cooke SP3 50mm lens through an unconventional still life series, highlighting its distinctive "Cooke Look" in cinematic imagery.
