I was on this one and got out-bid.
It's actually a 18" one.

This 2C is not soft focus - it is the ordinary version.
Interesting sale nonetheless because of extreme rarity. Going price has almost doubled in the last 5 years...

Non-knuckler version of the Cooke series II, F4.5. French engraved version 406mm (16") in nice condition with original leather case - but no flange. €1,440 - including all fees.

This was the only "flou" item at last weekend's WestLicht auction. A confirmation of a general fall in soft lens offers at the usual sources?

Apart from the very exclusive items, few lenses made it up to the minimum valuation made by the auctioneers.
