*******SOLD********



Sad to see it go. Need to reinvest in some other gear.

This is my favorite lens ever. EVER.

It is in excellent condition and I am the second owner. The first owner was NFL Films, and was meticulously maintained. Only 3 months ago it was completely overhauled, collimating and cleaned by ZGC inc (Cooke itself). Guy Genin, Cooke lens tech said it was in excellent condition.

It has minor cosmetic wear, natural for a 30year old lens. Still has internal filter holder, and I have a smattering of the in lens filters that are included. White net, 1/4minus green for flourescant lights, ultra con 1, and sepia (quite beautiful), plus a handful of others.

Includes a new support bracket, both 19mm and 15mm studio support bridges, AR custom hard case (looks like inner space), front short screw on sun shield.

The front outer diameter is 150mm, and the OConnor Obox clamps directly on if you remove the bellows.

The lens is sharp and absolutely organic and beautiful. Best flares ever.

It will cover 4k through the whole range and 5kHD/5kWS on the longer end of the lens, near 40mm.

Here are some images:

EDIT*

PRICE DROP: $12,000 OBO. Buyer pays shipping. Wire transfer or certified check.

Tristate area preferred, I can deliver it to you as well, we can work that out.
 
Forgot to mention, on upcoming dragon, in theory 5k will be the size of 4k now, so on the dragon it will cover5k.
 
the buyer will certainly be happy with this lens, I sold mine last year and still regret that decision. beautiful lens.

good luck with the sale timur.
 
Good Luck with the sale, its a wonderful lens
 
If you think this lens is for soft nostalgia only, think again. She is capable of brilliant sharpness that maintains the Cooke character.

Steven Sebring shot the Epic Monochrome film "Emily" with this lens... we flared it out with a light pointed straight at the front element... I was pulling focus with no marks, off the barrel no less. But it doesn't get much sharper than this, and I'm not sure if you'd want it to...

 
Timur I can't believe you are selling you're baby! I'm shocked! You shot your Muppets piece on this! And more!

I guess you CAN get a Meizler Module for that price, so yeah...lots of gear to get in exchange....but still...I feel your pain..

I can't sell ANY of my lenses, no matter how much my wife wants me to clear out space in our living-room....
 
Look at those flares!!! Man I want this lens soo badly!!! Please somebody buy this so I don't be tempted to sale my car for it :-(
 
I love this lens... I had one and finally did sell it. In some ways I seriously regret selling it and wish I had it back, but I've decided to keep pressing forward and have purchased other glass now. Not that it's any better, just different.

Anyone who buys this lens will indeed be happy with it. It's just an all-around workhorse of a lens and it makes pretty pictures.
 
If you want the 80's look with backlights, the definition of "production value", (atleastwith a bit of smoke and flares), this is the lens to get.

It is not really sharp, just looks sharp.

Love it!
