Anatole Sloan Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Does anybody know where I can get Cooke S2 or S3 lenses, and what sort of price range they are - are they similar to that of the Superspeeds? Cheers, Anatole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebuilt by Century or Van Diemen then $3-4000 per lens. Usually the rebuilt lenses take glass from several lenses in an attempt to match colour and sharpness. FWIW the exit pupil of the wide lenses is very small, this causes vignetting with a P+S adapter. You don't give your location, but many top rental houses have them.
