The Cooke S8/i Full-Frame spherical primes are Cooke's flagship large-format line — T1.4 speed and the signature Cooke Look for full-frame sensors — and at premium per-lens pricing a six-lens set runs well into six figures. This made-to-order ATA case is a rounding error on the set it protects. Custom-routed foam locks down the front and rear elements, lens barrel, and focus and iris gears against shock and crush loads so nothing shifts in handling — each lens keyed to its own well with rear-cap clearance for the PL mount.
Cooke S8/i Full-Frame primes live in rental circulation, moving between jobs constantly, and a set only works if you can account for every lens. Each lens stands in its own contoured, labeled well, so a lens tech or rental desk sees at a glance whether all six came back before the case is signed in — count-at-a-glance check-in and check-out. Nothing walks off set unnoticed.
An ATA-grade case is also what makes a freight claim winnable on a six-figure set — carriers deny damage claims on self-packed optics. Riveted aluminum extrusion, recessed latches, and a sealed lid give the case its ATA-300 Category I rating. Built to order and foamed in North Hollywood by Innerspace Cases; tell us your exact focal lengths (18, 25, 32, 40, 50, 75mm (your set)) and we cut the wells to your set.

Fit & shipping FAQ
Which S8/i lenses fit?
As built, six positions for the S8/i set (your six full-frame focal lengths). The case is built to order, so we cut the well count and sizes to your exact focal lengths — add a lens, drop one, or size a larger shell for a bigger set.
Can the foam be re-cut if my set changes?
Yes — it's built to order. Swap focal lengths, add a position, or step up the shell for a bigger set, and we CNC-cut the layout to your exact lenses with front and rear-cap clearance.
Are the front and rear elements protected?
Each lens seats in its own contoured well that locks the front and rear elements, barrel, and focus/iris gears against shock and crush — nothing touches its neighbor, inside a sealed ATA-300 shell built for road and air freight.
Can it check as airline baggage?
It's built to ATA 300 Category I for checked air travel and freight. A full prime set is heavy, so most rental houses move it as oversized checked baggage or freight — the case is rated for the handling either way.
What's the lead time, and can you rush it?
Every case is built to order and ships in about 14–21 business days. Rush production is available as a premium by quote when a deadline is tight — tell us your date and we'll price it.

Will this fit my setup?
Tell us what you’re protecting and everything that travels with it. We check it against this build’s foam layout and reply with either a confirmation or the change we’d make. No obligation, and it goes to the people who cut the foam.
Got it — we’re checking your package.
We have your configuration and the exact build you were looking at. You’ll hear back with a fit confirmation or the modification we’d recommend.
My setup is different
Different body, extra accessories, an accessory that has to stay mounted, or dimensions that don’t exist yet. We modify an existing design or engineer a new one.
I need several
Repeatable foam layouts, consistent hardware, replacement foam and reorders against the same drawing. Standard practice for rental houses and studio fleets.
