I have been looking for a 10" or 12" Pentac for more than three years, and have yet to find one, or even hear of one. Apparently they were made, but must be pretty rare. On the other hand, a 12" f/2.9 lens would be huge. I have a 13.5" f/3.5 Eastman Anastigmat which weighs 12 lbs; the 12" pentac would be larger!
I also recommend getting the Vade Mecum. It is full of holes and inconsistencies, but it is by far the best source on lenses we have.
