    LF Lens Manufacturers?


    Besides Cooke in England is there anyone else still making lenses for LF film cameras (that is 8x10 upwards)?

    I fixed the tense in your question. Copal is the answer. Cooke apparently still has stock, but I'll bet they prefer you purchase the convertible "without shutter" so they can keep selling lenses a little longer.

    Now I'm jealous. I've wanted to order one from the moment I heard Cooke was still custom-making these.
