New Cooke lenses

[mark leuchter]

I just received an email from someone at Cooke optics that they will shortly be releasing two new S-16 primes: a 9.5mm and a 12mm. I wonder if they're limiting the run to these focal lengths because the S4 series seems to pick up immediately thereafter.

 

Does anybody know if these new Cookes will be designed for compatibility with the S4's? If they are optically compatible, then wonderful -- the S4's are lovely lenses, and having them in effect go down to 9.5mm opens up the floor for S-16 photography, I would think.

 

On an unrelated (or perhaps related) note, has anybody experimented with the new Kinoptik 9mm for S-16 that comes with the A-Cam?
