For Sale Group Sale! Petzvals! Rapid Rect's! Even a Cooke! All 4X5, 5X7

Ala Richard Rankin :~')) I do have more images as needed.


No. 1 SOLD!


No. 2 is a gorgeous shape 6" f4 Projection Petzval made by Bausch & Lomb and marked Williams Brown and Earle. Perfect for your 4X5 portraits. This will swirl on 4X5!! $205


No. 3 and No. 4 are both 22CM (8 3/4" covers 5X8!) Rapid Rectilinears. No. 3 is no-name but I think it is probably a Ross. It has a lovely working aperture assy. F8 max. Sorry, no flange. $88

No. 4 is really interesting for such an early lens. It is Morley's #2 Rapid Rect. 5X8 and it takes waterhouse stops. It is f7.2 wide open. The aluminum is really different and pretty. $108


Then last but not least AT ALL is a TTH Cooke Series III 6.2" Triplet for 5X4! The Serie III is f6.5. Aperture on this one is smooth as butter. It has more than a few cleaning sleaks and my price reflects the real value considering the damage. Not enough damage to affect contrast much. 2%? maybe. It has a jamb nut that sort of fits the threads. Usable Cooke! and actually VERY pretty. $72

hey jim! do you have sample shots of the cooke?

thank you!

Nothing from that lens, but here's one from it's big brother done on 5X7.


And there's a bunch more done with a different Series III here.

Here's some more pics of the Cooke.

#2 Petzval is sold. Off to make a donation. The Aluminum RR is unsold and the Cooke also.

The Cooke is SOLD! Just the Aluminum RR left.

All Sold! Thanks everyone.
