Hi All,
I have for sale a Cooke 9-50mm Zoom lens. For whatever reason I've had it sat on my shelf for ages doing nothing. I have it's big brother the Cooke 18-100mm which I use all the time.
The Cooke 9-50mm Zoom is a beautiful little lens. Lightweight. T 2.5. Possibly the most solidly constructed 16mm lens around.
My lens has literally hardly ever been used. I have the invoice from Arri UK that I will provide in the sale and can be seen in the pictures that shows the lens was bought new from Arri in 1991 on May 23rd (I've blacked out the previous owners address). It was originally bought for £5640 which is about $8000 with the current exchange rate. Apparently he passed away and the lens sat in his wifes loft for 10 years before she asked a friend to sell it. I bought it about 3 or 4 years ago and have hardly had it out of the case I'm sad to say.
As such the lens is in mint condition. Almost factory perfect in many respects. The focus and iris are buttery smooth and even though it's 16mm the images it can make are sublime. They have that rich Cooke feel that it's big brother shares.
I had hoped to keep hold of it till the Scarlet 2/3rds arrived since this lens will perfectly cover Red's projected size chip for the Scarlet. However, needs must. If it doesn't sell then I genuinely won't be too worried as there is plenty of life to come for this lens.
It's in Arri bayonet mount but I've included an Arri Bayonet/Standard to PL mount in the auction. I've tested the mount briefly on the lens and it doesn't appear to quite have the correct back focus when I put it on. I would think a good camera tech could put the correct shims in to get it spot on or just get it hard mounted PL.
Also included in the sale is the original manual that came with the lens. This is the only Cooke maintenance manual I've ever actually seen lol! Pictures of the manual illustrate the contents and a few pages/pics etc. Full of every last detail you could wish to learn about the lens!
So all in all you are getting the following:
I'll happily ship anywhere in the world once payment has gone through completely. Payment can be made by bank transfer, bankers cheque or paypal.
PM me or send emails to paulclementscx at gmail dot com.
If these pictures aren't showing you something (Goodness only knows what) let me know.
Many thanks
Paul
