Selling some more unusual stuff today trying to raise some cash for an interior for the '38 Coupe.
A Cooke is a Cooke is a Cooke! All of them are a cut above the competition. And a ULF Cooke is almost never seen. This 25" would cover 8X20 and perhaps 14X17 ~12X20 ?? Almost positive on those numbers. They "see" slightly less than an equivalent Tessar, and an 18" Tessar would make it around those formats mentioned.
The Series V-a was a process anastigmat and thus had the same thread both ends so you could reverse it on the camera if that was needed. It had a hood on the front which is now missing. I painted up an "inner core" from a tape roll which fits tight and makes a fine shade. I'll include it.
Glass is excellent and aperture is smooth. All of these Cookes are a bit stiff in the aperture. The machining was almost TOO fine. The flange is not original and not a perfect fit but quite usable.
$525.00 For a ULF Cooke!
