Cooke Portrait Series II D 27 inches.

[Tri Tran]

After 3 years of waiting and convincing the seller, I'm finally proud to be new owner of this lens. Thanks to Dwayne for giving me the opportunity to bring this lens back alive. The lens is definitely in the beautiful condition. The glass is flawless. The lens booster built with metal casted originally made by Taylor Hobson as well. According to the seller this lens was custom made in the 1920-1930.
It's a 27 inch Cooke Portrait lens F4.5. Weight 45 lbs .It has Soft focus ring 1-5 and it's unusual for this type because most of them are available with 1-3 soft focus only.The 11x14 camera and the Semi-Centennial stand will follow up next week. Thanks for viewing.

TT, just in case your beautiful lens didn't come with the special tool that it originally came with, this is what it looked like.

It originally came with 11x14. I can manage to bring this baby home first before the seller changes his mind and will be back to pick up the rest next week. It's a set !
