Just did not think too much about it. Sure there is only one group. I fixed the description to be more correct.

Sure. Why not? But then you also should include the story I think.

Then WHY have this thread keep track of "SF lens sales"? Not the place to show off ones score. JMO.
Re: Some Soft Focus Lens Sales Information
It was a rhetorical question
and I already posted about them elsewhere here
maybe they weren't free as I bought a lot of glass from my source
Some people just want to get old lenses back in use
and I don't trust eBay sales one bit, lots of shills at work

Yes, this thread. But your links are unfortunately broken.

Re: Some Soft Focus Lens Sales Information
I got a Cooke Series II f4.5 10.5" along with a Voigtlander 11.5" f3.5 in an estate sale for $198 for the pair. The insanely low price was due to them both being incredibly dusty and looking battered. The Voigtlander is in excellent condition given the age (ca. 1862-3). The Cooke, well, not so much- it has seen a rough life. But after cleaning and having the iris serviced, it is fully functional and making some excellent images.

My impression is that supply is still low, but demand is slowly going up!
Kodak 405mm. Very, very clean on Swedish Corona adapted web auction. Equivalent to 1,214 usd.
