Up for auction is a four lens set of Cooke Speed Panchro's.
The are the original series one lenses in what we believe to be Mitchell BNC mount.
We will describe the condition of each lens below as thoroughly as possible.
These lenses will need work before being put into use and assume anyone purchasing them will rehouse or service them to there needs.
Therefore they are being sold as is condition. Please feel free to ask any questions.
The 28mm has some light scratches and cleaning marks mostly on the rear element and I would rate it a 6-7 out of 10 optically.
The front element looks really good and there is no fungus or haze in the lens.
Aperture has some oil on the blades but it moves well besides being a bit stiff.
Focus moves easily but travels past infinity.
The 32mm has a few light cleaning marks on the front and rear element only visible with strong light and a very slight haze in the rear group.
It is otherwise very clean and I would rate it an 8 out of 10.
The focus is sticky in the far range. The aperture is moving well but feels dry.
The 35mm has some light internal cleaning marks only visible with strong light.
I would rate it a 7-8 out of 10. No fungus or haze.
Focus is extremely stiff. Aperture has some oil on the blades and is also stiff but moves through it's range.
The 40mm has light cleaning marks mostly on the front element and a very subtle haze.
I would rate it an 8 out of 10. Aperture is in great shape and turns well.
Focus is very dry and moves past the infinity mark.
These ratings take into consideration past examples we have seen and the age of these lenses
Once taken apart, serviced, and cleaned this should be a very good and extremely usable set of these legendary lenses.
They all come with front and rear caps besides the 35mm that only has a front cap.
Please only bid if you intend to pay and we appreciate your interest and business.
