Dear all,

I haven't been successful in finding the data of this lens.

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

Most likely a tessar-formula camera lens, perhaps an uncoated predecessor of the 10" Commercial Ektar. As such, would barely cover 8x10 at infinity. But "Series-S" is a Kodak designation I've never seen, used, or heard of before. Kodak process lenses usually have the word 'process' in their names.

As I recall (incorrectly, perhaps) about 15 years ago I saw an older aerial camera (Fairchild?) which had an uncoated 10" Kodak Series-S Anastigmat mounted in it.
