The now legendary Speed Panchro f/2.0 lenses were the first lenses used to shoot sound pictures in Hollywood (1927) and are still used today for The Cooke Look. By 1930, the S1 lenses = 24, 28, 32, 35, 40, 47, 50, 58, 75, 100 and 108mm. In 1945, S2 lenses covered 0.723x0.980 inch format; 18, 25, 32, 40, 50 and 75mm. 1953-54, S3 lenses were redesigned 18mm and 25mm S2s to achieve larger angular field of 80 degrees at f/1.7 to address wide screen.
