Interesting - The F-mount Coastal Optics APO 60/4 UV/IR, etc etc Macro is reportedly nothing short of jaw-dropping stunning based on reviews from Bjorn and Lloyd C. Drool.

Of course at $4000 a copy, it'd better be bloody good. Assuming 'he' is who 'we' think he is (J. Brian Caldwell, Ph.D., of Caldwell Photographic Inc./CO) it's hilarious to watch the arm-chair optical savants continue to argue with the guy.
Edit - from Imaging Resource note about the CO 60 APO:

Hi,
I am new here. I am pretty sure "Brian1959" is the designer of the Coastal Optics
U.V.Lenses. He posts in "NikonGear" and is a veru knowlagable fellow when it comes to lenses.
