I can get this lens (price not known yet) and it obviously is a cine lens, but would it be worthwile to adapt it to M42 or K-mount? I guess the image circle would be large enough for APS-C or even 35mm.
There's hardly anything known about this specific lens. I do know the Cooke Speed Panchro 75mm f/2. Anyone?

It's the first time to see this lens. I have Kinetal 75mm f2.6 arri mount and then converted to M42 mount and it's to say "Leica Grow".
The cine lens is great for bokeh and color but I'm not sure that your lens can be converted. It must be modified the screw and focal rotation if it's Arri mount and it can be focused infinity. On the other hand, C-mount can't be focus infinity.

Thanks for the information! I'm not sure which mount it is but I'll see. I have seen preconverted lenses with helicoid focusing macro rings, so it could be possible. And I can get this one for 75 euros, should I do it or not?

So no more question take it and play around how you can use it.I look forward your report, I can give you address for converter man from Hungary and Italy, Klaus can give you experienced guy address in China.
If you are lucky from 300 USD you can make a good usable lens.

OK, I got the lens tonight...
First impression: it is super heavy! Just like I would imagine for such a professional lens.
Second impression: it's superbly built. No play, no nothing. Super smooth focusing and diaphragm (which is clean, BTW). I now know why Taylor & Hobson is called the Zeiss of the United Kingdom
It's in a Excellent+ condition (KEH rating, so very conservative). Hardly any marks on the body (although there are some).
On a side note: many, if not most, of the movies we have seen in the Cinema and on the TV were -and are still- shot with Taylor & Hobson lenses. Around 1939 and later almsot 80% of all lenses supplied to Hollywood studios were made by Taylor & Hobson.
I'm not familiar with Cine lenses, but this one appears to be made for 35mm movie cameras, is it a Arriflex IIC mount? I've tried the lens on a white wall and sure enough the image circle is larger than a 35mm negative. Also, the distance from the lens to the focus plane is large enough to accommodate for an adapter.
I'm now looking if there are adapters available for this type of mount...

Quick-and-dirty mount suggestions - just to test with pending a proper one, perhaps -
- Get a t-mount for your camera, remove the inner ring, and check if the rear tube fits reasonably snugly in the t-mount. If so, tighten the setscrews and voila, a mount.
- If that won't work (too loose in the t-mount maybe ?) get one of those cheapo M42 macro extension rings and see if the rear tube fits inside one of the rings. If so, wrap the rear tube with tape and press-fit the ring over it. Voila, its an M42.

I agree...Thats one pretty lens. I have the T-H 12" (304.8mm) f4 lens in Vinten F95 mount which I converted to M42 mount...Here it is fitted with my homemade rotating tripod collar and lenshood:
OOF highlights with this lens are rendered with beautful sixteen point stars though the actual bokeh quality could be better.
As you would expect for an ex aerial recconaisance lens, its very sharp:

That's a very nice looking piece of kit - best of luck with converting it, be good to see results from that.
Superb.

Thanks everyone!
In the meantime, I have registered on a cinematographer's forum (quite a nice read if you are interested in cameras/lenses).
Well, it appears that the lens has the Arri Standard Mount. As such, it could have been used on the Arri 16S or later cameras.
The Arri 16S is still used in modern times; for instance Robert Rodriguez (the director of 'Sin City') shot 'El Mariachi' with this camera.
Of course, the lens is 35mm compatible. So it would also work on the Arri 35 II cameras:
There are adapters from the Arri Standard Mount to other mounts available.
I was surprised that many cinematographers use 35mm photo lenses for movie work; on the cinematographer's forum (www.cinematography.com) I have read several posts from people using Takumars (for instance).
Now, let's look for a proper adapter to fit the TTH lens on my camera

Now, I'm not so sure about using the Cooke on my camera anymore. Because I asked about the value of the Telepanchro and the answer was: "Thats almost an impossible question as very few were made, yours looks in very good condition & just needs a PL adapter to be useful today. Due to the shortage of good 35mm glass prices are generally inflated today, I would expect a dealer would ask $5,000,"

Well, I think the price is a little exaggerated and $500 or so would be more realistic (still a nice figure)?

I agree...Thats one pretty lens. I have the T-H 12" (304.8mm) f4 lens in Vinten F95 mount which I converted to M42 mount...Here it is fitted with my homemade rotating tripod collar and lenshood:

OOF highlights with this lens are rendered with beautful sixteen point stars though the actual bokeh quality could be better.
As you would expect for an ex aerial recconaisance lens, its very sharp:

I hope you manage to get your T-H up and running as I'm sure it will impress too. |
Cannot more than agree - have the same, even had it on the optical test bench, makes your hair stand straight up when you see the results...

Now, I'm not so sure about using the Cooke on my camera anymore. Because I asked about the value of the Telepanchro and the answer was: "Thats almost an impossible question as very few were made, yours looks in very good condition & just needs a PL adapter to be useful today. Due to the shortage of good 35mm glass prices are generally inflated today, I would expect a dealer would ask $5,000,"

Baloney, that one can still be had for $200...300 (same and less for the above mention TTH Vinten lens). Nice lens indeed!!

I think he might mean the history of the individual lens - I'd be curious too. There must be lenses out there that were used on some landmark, memorable or simply well-known productions, although whether that would ever have been noted as part of their history is doubtful.
