Fantasy lenses

[John Kasaian]

Which ones would you like to take for a spin around the ol' National Park?
There is no of danger of adding any to my "stable" anytime soon, if ever, but if by chance I won the lottery and was feeling self indulgent:

A Cooke Triple Convertable "just because Ansel used one"
16-1/2 APO Artar
12" Velostigmat series 2
120mm Nikon SW
Any Darlot that will cover 8x10 (mine corks out at 4x5)

What is your "fantasy" glass?

[Oren Grad]

270mm Apo-Sironar-S.

Doesn't exist, alas...

[domenico Foschi]

A SUPER CORRECTED 12 ELEMENTS IN 8 GROUPS PETZVAL.

darn upper cases....

[domenico Foschi]

a gold dot dagor

[Jan Pedersen]

A 158 Cooke VIIb that is lost in the mail somewhere between Singapore and USA

[Vaughn]

A 24" RD Artar in a shutter, but can live w/o the shutter...

[Gary L. Quay]

I second the Cooke Series X Triple Convertable.

While I'm dreaming, I'd like to add a dagor or three to my camera bag.

[Turner Reich]

A Cooke Triple Convertible "just because Ansel used one"
16-1/2 APO Artar
12" Velostigmat series 2
120mm Nikon SW
Any Darlot that will cover 8x10 (mine corks out at 4x5)

I have the 16 1/2 Apo Artar, but I will probably die before I ever actually hold, let alone use, a Cooke Triple Convertible lens.

I would love a Dagor lens, any Dagor lens would be fine, just to use one some day.

I would love to have all of my shutters be new.

A 90 to 480mm zoom that covers 11x14, has the resolution of a 180mm Nikkor and the image quality of a 10" Wide-field Ektar. Anyone have one for sale? Oh, and it has to be about the size of a 120mm F6.8 Angulon.

[IanG]

A new series of Wide angle Protars, and re-introduction of the Hypergon.
