    Re: My Dream lens.

    Had a good read of the prospectus!

    Just a few things that seem a little "off"!

    - while some of the classic pictorial lenses are under-represented in shorter focal lengths - for example, Graf variable - the situation is different for meniscus lenses, like T,T & H RVP and Spencer Portland where the 6" -9" sizes are plentiful.

    - the availability of "vanity" serial numbers is IMHO a unfortunate reflection of current society. Real serial numbers is the best way ensure that the history of the TT lens era is written correctly in a century or two!

    Very Interesting Tri Tran.

    What are the flange focal distances at infinity?

    I understand the desire and need for personalized numbering.

    Congratulations on bringing this product to market!

    It is either the distance from the lens node, iris or mounting flange to the the film plane at infinity.


    Old thread with some explanations, https://www.largeformatphotography.i...=1#post1148610


    I have a Gundlach Portrait 16-1/4 f6 Achromatic Meniscus which has a much longer flange distance than 16".

    But I did not exactly measure it.

    Re: My Dream lens.

    Flange focal distance is the distance from the mounting flange to the image plane when the lens is focused at infinity. It is a mechanical distance usually unrelated to optical properties, except the “focused at infinity” convention.

    As an example, the Nikon F-mount has a standardized flange focal length of 46.5mm.
