For Sale Cooke! Aviar! 8X10! 320MM Series IIIb f6 Classic British Excellence

[jimgalli]

This is one of my favorites. I've got 2. So now one of them can be your favorite. I just love the smooth look this has at f6. Gorgeous.

You can see some of the images done with this lens on my web pages here.

Glass is perfect. Aperture is perfect. These lenses just feel good in your hands. The finish is just without equal.

A dialyt design, but a fast one. They have a look of fine ness. This is probably what Hurley photographed the Endurance with in Shackleton's expedition to the south pole. The Cooke website notes this.

Comes with a flange. $325 + shipping.

Hi Jim,
Pretry lens. Is a flange hard to find for these?

Hi Brad. It had it's flange. Sold over at LFForum. But to answer your question, no, it seems it shares a common one with Bausch and Lomb projection lenses. All of them are hard to find if you don't have them. Jim
