Cooke P+S Technik Speed Panchro Rehoused PL Lenses
Designed in 1945-46 by famed optical designer Gordon Cook, the Series II Speed Panchro improved on the design that made Cooke the standard in Hollywood where MGM, Warner Bros., and Paramount used them almost exclusively. Following in 1954, Series III was designed to address the use of larger negative areas (CinemaScope, Vista Vision, etc.) without losing definition on the larger projection screens becoming popular during that era. This particular set was rehoused by P+S Technik.
