The lens that came with the whole plate studio camera I had taken off and put to one side, assuming it was just the usual generic f8 glass.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
So I took a closer look. It’s a Taylor Taylor & Hobson Cooke 7.77 inch f6.5 lens. This is the HD Taylor patent version. HD Taylor is of no relation to the Taylor Brothers in the manufacturer name. Has its flange and lens hood.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n
