The Oregon Coast Workshop (from May 2 to May 9) is shaping up.

Besides spending a day at the Durst-Pro-USA facility in Portland Oregon (trying out large and VERY large) enlargers, I just made arrangements with Cooke Optics of Leicester, England (through their distributor in NJ) to use a demo lens during that workshop. The lens is the very expensive, hand assembled Cooke PS945 229mm "soft focus" lens. While this lens is called a soft focus lens it really is not. Instead, it has a unique look of handmade lenses made about 100 years ago. The lens retails for $2995.00 and to date there are only about 50 of them in the USA. During the May Workshop everyone will have the opportunity to try the lens (it comes on a Linhof Technica board). I am trying to make similar arrangements with other manufacturers...we'll see what materializes.
