My pleasure.

Look forward to seeing your Cooke lens images when the right 8x10 comes along.

Read your comments in the Forum and agree that in terms of quantity 
sales, lightweight field lenses would be the way forwards.

I hope that Cooke can be persuaded to remanufacture some of their 
classic compact wideangles with some modern glass, shutters and 
coatings.

The more of us that give feedback to then, the more likely it'll 
happen. You can post in the Forum without subscribing at the

There are about 250 of us on this list - presumably most of us with 
some interest in the future availability of lenses.......
