For Sale Something Unusual! Cooke 5X4 Inch Series III Triplet in Working Koilos Shutter

[jimgalli]

So, I spent stupid money on a Port-Land and now I'm digging into my personal collection finding some sweet items to sell and try to replenish.

This little lens is a joy to use. 1895 and it's as sharp as any modern lens you can come up with. It makes fantastic images. It has the Cooke Look. Beautiful crisp contrast.

The Koilos shutter has to be tripped manually. If you poke a thin nail in to trip area it works but it doesn't have a modern thread for a regular cable release. Maybe an air bulb and tubing would work. I always just tripped it manually. Shutter speeds sound surprisingly consistent. Glass is beautiful. Jamb nut is there.

Turn the clock back 120 years and make some pictures that will amaze people. $365.00 + shipping
