Can anybody tell me the coverage/image circle? Is it the same like the no. 35 Kodak Anastigmat 4.5/254 ? Any data on this lens, then? Is it a process lens or a camera lens? Thanks for your support Michael

Your 10" will cover 8x10 with a little room for movement if you stop down. B&L held the Zeiss license in the USA. Kodak made Anastigmats under this license, and had to call the lens "Anastigmat".
