    Eastman Kodak Portrait Petzval.

    I just gave this lens a first cleaning. The lens arrived home a few days ago...
    Looks like a B & L petzval. The lens is engraved... EASTMAN PORTRAIT F4 16In.
    Seems a copy of the English Dallmeyer 3A, both are 16 inch focal length, F4 maximum aperture and have soft focus ability. The lens was originally designed for whole plate (6.5 x 8.5 inches) size images however I think that coverage is greater than this, I found it to be a nice focal length for portraits on 8x10.

    I would appreciate any information about the lens...
    Thanks in advance.
