Anyone have HD footage from a Cook 20-100 T3 lens?

[Giuseppe Pugliese]

I hear many people swear by this lens in the 70's and some in the 80's. I was wondering if anyone has shot with this on RED and has any HD footage of it. I'd love to see its characteristics. I don't see them for rent anywhere but I do see them for sale around the internet. It might be nice to own for outdoor shoots.

Anyone know where to find HD footage of it? I know a few films shot with it, but they only had SD trailers, so that doesn't help much.

VERY soft until mid f-stops - you can even see it in 480p until F5.6 or so.

Not worth it, in my opinion.

I may remember wrong, but I think it also breathes quite a bit, and it's HEAVY.

I shot this short on the Cooke 20-100 and RedMX, primarily at 4-5.6

Lot of language in this, just fyi

from what i hear, optically the 18-200 is the superior zoom from cooke, a lot of people swear by it, might be picking one up soon myself...

Thanks for the info, doesn't sound like a lens worth buying then. I'm looking into the 18-200 now

It is a fine lens. It does not breath. It looks great on the Red. Particularly since T3 is the new T2 with the MX.

I think Rob is confusing the 20-100 with the 250-250 mk1

We have the modified technocook 18-90 and all the lens tests we've done on it have been solid.
