Thanks for the information so far.

There are also sets of old Chinese Arri copy lenses out there
somewhere lying around in warehouses waiting for us to be shot with,
but I can't seem to find them :)

You can also see some name ending on "son", could it be Taylor-Hobson?
But someone wouldn't cover the name of those and the focal lenghts do
not match..

A bit more info on those chinese lenses, I am attaching a few pictures
I found on a forum and a little bit of text to go with it:

"It is said that this 20m f2 35mm cine prime approched Zeiss quality in 1970's."
"Here are a few more from my Chinese 35mm cine lenses collection. All
are very rare, and brand new toys. 35/T1.4 is the rarest. 28/2 and
75/2 were made by Ganguang, another factory that also made an Arriflex
35 IIC copy."

and resolution of this Ganguang 28/2 is also superb.

BTW, 凤凰光学(Pheonix Optics Corp.) asked my sister to find a foreign
partner. Should anyone has a connection, or is interested, please let
me know. This is one of the largest Chinese optical products company.
My sister is an official of China Association of Machinary Producers.(
the translation of the name may be incorrect)"

very interesting and perhaps research-worthy... flood the market with
very good chinese lenses would be great... I am confident that they
can copy lenses very well :P

Regards, Xax

PS: Pictures follow as it's too big for the list to attach them.
