Hi,
I apologize in advance for my lack of knowledge in these more esoteric lenses.
I just picked this up at my local camera store to try out for 8x10.
A Cooke 16" Series V f8; made by Taylor-Hobson England.
I wanted to know if it was a soft-focus lens, or if anyone here knows of any of its particular qualities.
The glass is pretty clean, aperture is smooth, if a little tight to the turn.
And if you have an idea of what I should pay for this, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
