I have recently acquired a pair of cells for a f/6.3 330mm Cooke Series XIV lens and am trying to get more info on it. VM has little to say other than it is something between a portrait and process lens. I have however come across an interesting little information pamphlet from TTH which contains a little more detail and which I would like to share. I couldn't find a reference to it searching here. It is only 8 pages, including the cover , five of which are example images. The last three give principle characteristics of Cooke Series IID f/3.5, Series IIE f/4.5, Series VIa f/5.6 and the Cooke Series XIV f/6.3.
If anyone has used one of the Series XIV I would like to hear of their experience. I have scanned the document to a PDF which I will try to attach here. If that does not get through the filters I will put it on my web site and post a link here.
