Hot of the press:

(Leicester, UK. – April 2, 2007) Cooke Optics Ltd., a premier manufacturer of precision lenses for the motion picture industry, announces that Red Digital Cinema has joined the growing list of companies who have incorporated support for the Cooke-developed /i Technology into their product lines. /i Technology enables film and digital cameras to automatically record key lens and camera data for every film frame shot and provide it to post-production teams digitally. The technology streamlines both production and post, saving significant time and costs and eliminating guesswork, while enabling greater creative freedom...

...Ted Schilowitz, Leader of the Rebellion at Red Digital Cinema, said, “With /i Cooke has brought advanced electronics to the age-old craft of creating world-class optics. They’re helping to advance the state of digital cinematography by taking the process of recording of critical lens information out of the manual realm and making it available immediately and perpetually -- on set and downstream.”

One would infer that Cooke may be making the Red Primes talked about previously, and now possibly more glass. Also, this is the first time we have heard the branding of Red "Lumina" lenses.
