Hi, all -
I recently picked up a Petzval to cover 8x10. About f/9 with the removable aperture disk installed (about f/6 without it). Measured at infinity to the disk it's about 16"; the glass (fore and aft) has "14 inch" written on the side.
There aren't any markings on the lens, but I'm curious if the collective experience here can recognize the lineage from a few pictures:

Regardless, the lens is in amazing shape. I have film on the way; Tuesday will be a fun day.
Thanks for any thoughts.
