Taylor, Taylor, & Hobson 75mm f/2 Cooke Speed Panchro
The Taylor, Taylor & Hobson 75mm f/2 Cooke Speed Panchro is a fast normal-to-short telephoto cine lens from the British Cooke Speed Panchro family, designed for professional motion-picture work where speed and rendering mattered more than compactness. The 75mm focal length sits in the portrait range of the Speed Panchro set, intended for cinematography rather than still photography.
UK auction data for this focal length is thin: the only recorded hammer result is £1,056 at a UK saleroom in April 2018, which is what the lens sold for at wholesale auction level (excluding commissions). With a single data point on file as of today, that figure is best read as an indicative price rather than a reliable median, and clean, fungus-free examples with smooth iris and original markings are likely to be worth more than tired copies in the current market.
Sales History
