I had to call the vendor where I purchased my cooke lens as the copal shutter has a problem and needs warranty work.
He stated that I was lucky to get the lens in the last batch as Cooke suspended production for an undetermined time. They are evidently very busy with cinema lens manufacturing. Obviously they didnt make any money from the few of these lense made.
Total production seems to tally to the sale of around 4 or 5 of their more expensive cine lenses.
It really is a magnificent lens for figure/portrait work and has an incredible range of sharpness and bokeh. You have to see prints to truly appreciate the attributes of this fine lens.
I imagine production of the convertible lens has ceased as well although I am speculating.
