Hi Clive and list,
Great to see that a new lens is introduced into the marketplace in these
times (against all odd's?)!
Maybe you can persued Cooke to elaborate a bit on this list about how
and why they decided the create this lens. Isn't the viewcamera redeemed
(even with a digital back attached)?. Seeing the focallength it looks
like it is targeted at 8x10 camera's.
What's up next from Cooke? A 75-90mm + 90-150mm + 150-300mm f5.6 zoom
triplet ??? :-) :-)
