Some Soft Focus Lens Sales Information

[RawheaD]

Damn, couple of those Veritos went for really nice prices...

[goamules]

Trends I notice are Cookes are very hot right now, probably the most expensive lenses being sold. A surprise is the small 12" Kodak Portrait lenses are going for a LOT more than usual. And like we've been noticing, other than the 18" ones, the Veritos are very cheap right now.

Cookes Series II are indeed selling high ...

Clearing out my cache ...

As part of my series on Soft Focus Lenses ( see www.antiquecameras.net ), I have been collecting completed sales data, mostly from ebay, for the classic Large Format Soft Focus Lenses.

Data is here: http://www.antiquecameras.net/softfocuslenssales.html

Perhaps the Shanghai 3B was responsibe for this well known photo of Sòng Měilíng or others from her family photo album?

History these days, not politics!

I believed the lenses and Fuji Acros 100 14x20 film, which I bought same time, might been floating from Japan.
