I have recently ordered a Fujinon 600 to complete my range of 8x10 lenses but, after reading accidentaly an article by Gordon Hutchinngs about the Cooke Triple Convertible, I was considering the possibility of selling the Fujinon 450 and the Schneider G-Claron 305 I own and buy the Cooke Triple Convertible.
The Cooke will cover roughly the three focal lenghts (305 - 450 - 600 mm) with the combination of the two cells (311 - 476 - 646 mm), plus it will have the advantage of using a single shutter (over three of them) and therefore allowing a much better consistancy in terms of shutters times.
In terms of optical results, handing in the field and overall money value, can this be considered a good move ?
