Someone locally is offering a very good looking studio camera, with a Cooke Portrait lens mounted. It's hard to see, but I'm sure I can read Series II, and pretty sure it is followed by a capital A. The camera comes with what seems as a half plate back and back that is larger then full plate, roughly measured as 9.8 to 11.8 inch. What lens could it be, and what would it be worth? I can't afford buying the camera, but if the lens is worth the price alone, I could buy the camera and sell the lens so I can get myself something big for plate photography.
