Thought you might like to have the first glimpse of the new Cooke
Convertible Series XVa lens. Omigod this is a really beautiful lens and an
object of desire!
Combined: 311.4mm
Front only: 645.9mm
Back only: 476.2mm
You can also use two sets together to get 365.7mm (front + front), and
271.6mm (back + back).
It's a novel design with a dialable aperture ring with 3 sets of f stops,
in lieu of markings on the shutter itself, allowing you to use any shutter
(made after 1950). The lens will be available with or without a new Copal
#3 shutter.
The multi coating is the same formula used on the Cooke S4 cine lenses. No
ghosting or flaring.

UK Spring Large Format Workshop.
More information soon.
