Cooke SP3 and AP3 Lenses Get Native Nikon Z Mount Option
Cooke Optics has added a native Nikon Z mount to its SP3 and AP3 compact cinema lens series via a licensing deal with Nikon.

Native fit matters here because third-party E-to-Z adapters have reportedly scratched the locking ring on Z-mount RED cameras.
