The Cooke 18-100mm Varotal T3 and the Cooke Cinetal 25-250mm T3.7 are classic Cooke zooms lenses released in the late
1980s and are legendary industry standard zooms. The 25-250mm offers a great range from a wide 25mm to a long 250mm, making it a workhorse for both wide and telephoto work. The lens is designed for Academy 35, and for large sensor coverage a simple 1.2x expander is used to retain the Cooke Look. The lens is organic and sharp but handles the image without feeling harsh. It is solidly built, ergonomic, and has flattering character. Cooke designed the lenses to naturally emphasize skin tones. Hence part of the Cooke Look.

It was the first high quality zoom designed for professional motion picture photography that incorporated a totally new design concept that has remained the basis for all Cooke zoom lenses subsequently produced. It was produced through the late 1980s.
