I happened upon this one while browsing ..it was already at $305 so I decided to watch it to see where it would end up
I've seen these cooke 158's sell for much, much less
and now this one is all the way up to $500+ this morning ..yikes!
Is the TTH lens case that valuable? I haven't seen one before ..but then again I don't look for those things
I can see it selling alone for $75 or something in great shape ..more? In good shape along with the lens I guess could boost it up a bit
Is it "worth" $300?
Is there anything special about this lens over other 158's?
I notice there is no period in the VIIB ..others have it marked as VII.B
I don't know about #SN but this seems to be a "later" lens.
The glass isn't perfect so doesn't seem to be related to that
The seller took his listing photos using a blue light which perhaps could make one think the lens has been coated giving off a colored reflection ..but it's easy to see there is blue light falling onto the barrel itself
Just wondering whats up with it
:confused:
I'm actually building a 4x10 P&S around one of these 158's right now
..to take advantage of its wideness on the format since my 90mm on 4x5 doesn't do it for me
But that's not why I'm curious.
