Hi: I'm putting together a comprehensive list of 35mm cine glass. Its in a spreadsheet format. I originally started this as a way to force myself to learn about 35mm cine glass (I was into 35mm still glass before), but I realized that this would be a useful resource for all.

Its mostly complete, but there are a few columns that need filling in. I culled the info mostly from the glass manufacturers, but also from some non-official online sources. In some cases, there were conflicts. This was not a fast or easy process.

I am looking for opinions on how to finish this project. My goal is to put this online, either on this forum, or make it a global Googledoc that anybody can download, or perhaps you have a better suggestion.

I also am looking for experts help in finishing it. Again, not sure wether to put it on googledocs and give a few experts access (with the risk of people overwriting others work) or emailing it to a select few or simply listing the columns with missing info and asking for the #'s.

Thoughts?

Well, you can keep your original and let them add...Or post what you have to all, the internet open thing, and you will have all the feedback you need. When will you post? As I am in need of knowing what exists,,,,very confusing John

I would love like a lens wiki somewhere.
Does anyone know any good resources on lens's? Because I know the basic's but not as much as I would like to and im wanting learn all the minute things that make a difference between len's types if you could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.
