    Fantasy lenses

    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?

    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.

    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.
