So I have been considering investing in a set of lenses sometime in the future, and I love the texture, depth and just overall unique look that some sets of vintage lenses offer. I was intrigued to see Cooke literally update their vintage glass into modern ones but still keeping the same look. So does anyone think these would be a good grab compared to others like the Zeiss Contax, Super Baltar, Lomo Prime. etc? Thanks!

It'll be easier to repair the cooke's than those other lenses, so if you already like the look, and you have the cash, then sure.
