The Speed Panchro descends from Horace W. Lee's double Gauss designs for Taylor, Taylor and Hobson of Leicester, the line that gave cinematographers a properly corrected f/2. Series II was redesigned under Gordon Cook and built between 1953 and 1958 with rare-earth glasses and thorium-bearing elements, spanning 25mm to 100mm. The 75mm is the portrait length. This one has been rebuilt from its cine mount into Nikon F fit, putting it on SLR and, by adapter, mirrorless bodies.
