ENGLAND COOKE SERIES IV SOFT FOCUS LENS
F 5.6 15 1/2"

A rare opportunity to own a pristine soft focus portrait lens that hasn't changed much since it was made about 140 years ago! I've owned a few of these, and really nice specimens, but this one is the nicest. The original clear coat is in mostly perfect condition. Judge for yourself. The Aperture blades work smooth as butter. This is a 3-detent Soft-Focus coil with Knuckler in perfect condition. The glass is absolutely pristine! With no scratches, haze, or fungus. And surprisingly, no bubbles that I can see, which they commonly have. Included, is the Original Leather front Cap. I'm also including a Packard Shutter board which fits this perfectly, if you want it. This lens will cover huge format, and can be adapted to many cameras. Weight: 4lbs,13oz.
