This massive ULF lens was made by the famous Taylor Hobson Cooke makers (the same makers that made the Cooke Knuckler portrait lens). It features a focal lenght of around 1220mm (or 48"), and the image circle is slightly larger then 120cm (or 50"). It can be used for ULF and Mammoth shots on ultra large formats up to 50" x 50" (or 150cm x 150cm).


Condition: The brass looks good here, with only minimal signs of wear. The glass is a good condition also, there are some cleaning marks visible, but besides that no fungus or haze. The iris aperture is working from F16 to F90.

You will find the TTH Process every now and then on the market, but you probably wont find a second 48" version out there. So if you plan to do some giant plates, or some other amazing projects, dont miss out on this one!


The lens comes with a fitting flange, which is very importent considering the weight.
