Hi, does anyone know something about this lens? It got in my hands and it's in very good conditions but i'm more 35mm user so i dont know a lot about it. Complete name:
Taylor- Hobson Cooke Anastigmat No157078 5inch series XIII f/2.9
It's very big and heavy and it's covered in black leader.
thanx everyone
The Vade Mecum, which is usually not too bad on UK lenses, admits defeat on this one. Thinks it covers little more than 2x3. Suspects it might be a slower Series X, in which case it is a modified triplet with the last element replaced by two air-spaced elements. Counting reflections should test that conjecture real quick. The mount, as shown in y'r image, makes me think it is set up as a projector lens. If so, it should have no diaphragm.
Good luck, have fun,
Dan
there is another picture which could help. and mount is M42 so i managed to put in on my minolta and then i'd say it's about 135mm lense. as you can see from picture it's possiable to take it apart and use just a lense not the body of lence. there is also a kind of filter on lense but with no description. i really would like to know what is this lense,
thanx everyone
