    I'm a lens designer

    You too and everybody else. We got hit by the nor'easter snowstorm which knocked our power out. It's beautiful outside but the trees are loaded down with snow and ice and fell across some power lines somewhere..in several places I'm sure. No turkey dinner until power is restored!

    Just finished our big dinner. Turkey, homemade apple pies, vanilla ice cream, dressing from homemade bread, etc. Plus, we get to eat twelve hours before you. Life is good...

    It seems like everyone loves the Fujinon A series lenses for large format photography, but they have not been made in a long time and are getting frightfully scarce and even more frightfully expensive used.

    How about a tweaking of those lenses in 300, 450, and 600 mm, and make them for a reasonable price.

    I think the A series comes in 180. 240, 300, 360, 600 and 1200 focal lengths. The 180 and 240 are quite common, 300 somewhat rare, 360 very rare, and 600 and 1200 never seen. It seems the demand would be for 360 and 600 focal lengths.

    Maybe even add a 900mm to that series.

    The 360A I think only covers 11x14 so for ULF it's not too useful. No problem for 600 hitting corners of 16x20. Having said that my 360A is my favorite 8x10 lens.
