Title: FS 14" F4.5 Pinkham Bi-Quality Art / Portrait / Soft focus legendary glass
Post by: 8x10 user on January 27, 2014, 04:32:10 pm
A very well known an highly sought after soft focus the Pinkham Bi quality offers a unique sharp yet soft an glowing perception of the world.

* Corrected for color with a softness from a precise and controlled amount of spherical aberration.

* Softness varies with aperture selection.

* Like the Cooke PS945, this lens was modeled after the Original Pinkham and Smith Visual Quality Series IV.

It was produced by Pinkhams Grandson in limited quantity's. It is estimated that only around 150 were made. So this one is one of the very last made.

Condition is excellent with perfect glass. The aperture works well but could use a CLA to make it more silky and smooth. Only one lens cap is included.

The Price is $3800 plus shipping and insurance. Dans site (http://antiquecameras.net/softfocuslenssales.html) has them for 4000-4200
