That's a huge bargain compared to conversations 10 years ago by Van Diemen .

While I don't dig having to ship my lenses to Europe and back, it looks like I will as I have been waiting to get my set rehoused with PL mounts.

True Lens Services offers a rehousing for SII/III's too.

3D renders only. No rehoused lenses in sight on any of those pages. do you really want your set to be the guinea pig?

Ive had nothing but good experiences with the sales team at P&S. Their IMS mount system feels... Interesting. Secure but in a scientific minimalist way. I would really want to see at least a photo and solid reccomendations from others before sending lenses in.

Did you check out the TLS link I posted? Lots of real pictures for you to look at. These guys are 12 miles from the Cooke factory, not that proximity matters, but hey. British housings on Brit lenses.

Very, very interested in getting my set done as well!

Ryan (ha!), yes TLS rehousing program looks incredible. I reached out to Keith at TLS in March, some lens seller turned me on to them. Their barrel is larger with cam focus movement!--super AC friendly, but at current prices an original set + TLS rehousing is still a pretty penny. I should have said in excited to see the P&S rehousing--it's a bit more affordable.

While we're discussing these excellent lenses, a test against Zeiss standards / speeds revealed a distinct green cast on the panchros. I've noticed it before on short films I've shot with the same set. Has anyone else encountered this, or any other peculiar traits? Could just be that set.
