FOR SALE: Les Bosher rehoused Cooke Kinetal 50mm T2 Arri PL mount cine lens no. 573133

[Daniel J. Fox]

Cooke Kinetal 50mm T2 Arri PL mount cine lens.

The lens was designed for S16 film cameras, but the image circle is large enough to cover S35 and almost (with a slight vignette) FF/135 cameras.

Rehoused by British lens technician Les Bosher, the housing is smaller and more compact than those made by TLS. The lens has integrated gears for focus and aperture, a Arri PL mount and a 95mm frontage.

The optics are clean and bright with no haze, fungus or separation. There are faint cleaning marks to the front and rear optics, as is to be expected with a lens of it's age.

There is some very minor play in the housing (standard for a Les Bosher lens) but the focus and aperture operate as expected.

Price: £2350 (no VAT for a UK sale).

The lenses ship worldwide from the UK at cost.
