Asher, that lens is very similar to your PS945. Part of the effect is caused by the nearly 1:3 ratio of a 3" flower macro'd onto a full 8X10 film. The bellows was probably out to 26 28 inches with the 12 inch lens. You will get nearly identical look with similar subject matter and your Cooke. I was wide open at f4. The Cooke begins at f5.6 iirc.

Jim, I have two Haykeye Portrait lenses. The 11x14 and 10x12 group. Both of these lenses have a nice signature. They are great on the 8x10. Can't wait to use them on the 11x14 when I get it done.

What are you going to do, put your 11x14 on wheels or else use a focal plane shutter or can you add a shutter someother way?

I'm so impressed Jim with the depth of experience with exotic lenses! What is the coverage of the lens? I'm worried whether I could use the Cooke for my 8x10 at at least f 8 for a group of flowers or nude study? I guess if I'm not at infinity, the circle will be bigger anyway!

That should make Domenico proud :) That old petzval speaks loud and clear.
