Description
Excellent sharp large format lens at a great price! This is a 19" f9 Taylor-Hobson Cooke Apotal reproduction lens, made sometime in the '60s. These are very hard to find lenses, & very bright. The glass is in excellent condition overall (a few tiny coating marks & minor dust, but nothing that comes even close to affecting images). The aperture works perfectly & is smooth. Covers 8x10, & anything smaller with ease, pretty large coverage with it's 19" focal length. A big, bright lens at a bargain price. Lens measures 90mm x 60mm overall. Comes with lens cap but no mounting ring. I've been collecting, buying & selling camera gear for over 15 years, & have seen a wide selection of camera gear over the years. I specialize in large format antiques & other vintage camera gear, some that needs additional restoration, some that's functions perfectly as it is. I examine & clean each piece, & I describe each to the best of my abilities, but all the gear I sell is used, & thus imperfect as am I. If you are unsatisfied with a piece or I described it improperly, I will always take a return (provided gear is returned within 7 days of arrival, & in the same condition it left). I try to be as fair as possible, & sell usable gear with minor defects to people who want it, but sometimes people disagree on what is "usable". If you have any questions about the functionality, usefulness, condition or want additional photos of any piece, please let me know BEFORE you purchase, I'm happy to oblige. I ship via USPS mail, & all items with a value of $75 or above shipped internationally will be shipped USPS Priority Mail insured, I apologize to my international customers if this incurs additional shipping charges, but I've had thousands of dollars worth of gear damaged overseas over the years, & I can't afford to give refunds on uninsured items.
