Cooke Panchro Speed 1 Silver Version Series I are uncoated and rehoused versions of the Cooke Series O f2.0 OPIC lenses introduced in 1925. The Panchros were officially released in 1930.

The Lenses are from a very old generation, 28,35,40, 70mm, they belong to a legacy of the oldest Cooke Lenses. The lenses contain small light scratches of age between 28, 35,40mm, they have anomalies due to years, but they are still ready for a beautiful rehousing and cleaning that will maintain an incredible look. It can be said that the lenses remain in great quality compared to other S1 series.
