Hi, Phill, Mark, et al
I had a DP friend who preferred the Cookes to the German lenses, such as the
Schneiders and even the Zeiss lenses. He in fact said that the Zeiss lenses
had a bluish tinge which he didn't particularly like, though they may have
been slightly sharper. What do you say to that? Anybody else have a similar
experience?

Phill,
Don't want to be a party booper or whatever , but despite popular belief
Concorde is British through & through.
Served my apprenticeship with The Fairey Aviation Co Ltd ( 5 years ).
Started on 1st October 1956 which was the day the Fairey Delta 2 broke the
Airspeed Record at 1132.24 MPH ,complete with Droop Snoot. It was then
reshaped into Concorde , tested & through my Apprenticeship worked on the
Full Size Concorde . When the first 6 were finished some were sold to Air
France & painted in their colours.
Sorry to bang on , just wanted to say my bit.
Incidetally , a spin off from the Delta was the Non Stick coating on your
frying pan!

.....Yes the French ACL is more curvacious!!! But when the English and
French DO get together on something it ends up being a legend like the ACL,
Concorde or CANADA for that matter.
I thought we were talking Rugby scores for a moment!
