Dan, Part One should also mention the
Hermagis Portrait Lens, a Petzval lens
from the 19th century, and also the
Cooke Portrait lenses from about 1910.

For Part Two, you might want to include
the Kodak portrait lens (12") and of course
the Voigtlander Universal Heliar (which I
believe you have already written about
elsewhere).

Hi

The Hermagis is a Petzval, not a SF lens.
The Cookes, beginning 1913, will be in Part 2 or 3
The Kodak will be in Part 4 as will the Heliar

Thanks
Dan
