NOW ON EBAY $1495 opening bid, $1895 Buy It Now

Time to part with my Cooke 9-50mm T=2.5 lens. Great for RED One at 2k or Scarlet. Immaculate condition.

Glass is pristine, no fungus, no dust, no scratches. All mechanics are silky-smooth. This is a personal lens that has never been rented out. I bought it a few years ago from a DP who used it as his personal lens. He had it fully serviced just before selling it to me, including having the witness marks repainted. I've periodically had it checked out and collimated on a lens projector. Always stored in proper conditions in its case. In the 8 years or so that I've had it, I've shot with it less than 5 times. Sale includes the pictured Anvil-style case with custom foam,.

Has the legendary, much-desired warm, contrasty, Cooke "look." Extremely sharp edge-to-edge, and retains its sharpness wide open at a fast T=2.5. Almost no zoom breathing. Close focus to 1 foot 6 inches! Compact size. In stainless steel Arri bayo mount, easy to convert to PL. Focus gear included, front and rear caps, and I'll throw in a 4 1/2" round screw-in Tiffen collapsable rubber lens shade. Comes in anvil-style shipping case.

If you are interested I have a zoom motor and bracket I can sell you separately.

Weekend bump. Lots of views but no PM's. Willing to consider any reasonable offer. I really hate to part with this beautiful lens but need to raise money for Steadicam upgrades. This lens was/is one of the best of the best 16mm zoom lenses ever manufactured. Warm, sharp, contrasty, almost no zoom breathing at all. Cuts seamlessly with primes.

Also, to clarify, this lens does cover Super 16/2k at most focal lengths, just not at the widest end of the zoom range. The ZGC conversion fixes that, but you don't have to do the conversion to use the lens successfully. A PL mount conversion or adapter are also readily available and not expensive. PM if you have any questions.
 
Great lens, great price, but I don't have the cash for it right now. I suspect many are in a similar situation.
 
bump...I had a deal that seems to have fallen through, so it's back on the market. All reasonable offers considered.
 
Bump...now on Ebay with reduced opening bid and reduced BIN.
