    There two F16's from Ross ( apart from the licensed Zeiss and Goertz lenses).

    The "portable" is a a standard RR - scaled down in size to be ....... portable!

    The other is a wide RR - but not that wide, I think.

    Deciding which is which is a real problem as the size numbers and the focal lengths are very similar, if not identical!

    Hi Sean,

    Below is a catalog page of Ross portable symmetrical lens. It is a pretty old one because it only existed in Ross catalog till 189x.
    The 8" focus length one can cover 8x10 so it should be a 80-degree lens.

    lucaas, thank you, this catalog is very useful.
    I have no.3 and no.7, as my imprecise measurement, the "light circle" is about 95-100 degree, so in actual use might 80-90 degree.
