Another less common lens.

T, T & H Cooke series IIA F3.5 ( "Portric"). £472 (including auction fees). SAS auction UK. The winner was very eager, so I gave up at 380!

This is either a 12" or 12.5" (probably) being listed as 12.?. The early "turn the barrel" version.

Described as spotty brass but OK glass.

This was the only pictorial lens this time.

There is already a list of acheived hammer prices on the SAS website and includes a number of other interesting (non-soft) brass ( large Euryskop series II, huge Ross Universal 30" back focus, Dallmeyer 5A WA meniscus).

Not a lens, but the leather case for Cooke 14-1/2 Series II Portrait SF. I have one of those.

A bargain I 'won'. Very nice condition.

Lots of Dallmeyers this period. But there are lots for sale during all periods. I'd like to see a tally of how many Dallmeyer petzvals sell each year. I see 2-4 sell each month, most on Ebay, a few on other sites or locally. If that's consistent, that would be up to almost 50 sold a year! The lenses I seek out are much more rare, and sometimes I only see one every year or three. Anyway, they're all good.
