    Two lenses

    I've been to a camera fair this morning and bought a couple of lenses. they both came without shutters. The first was a brass and steel lens that seems to cover 8 x 10. It has one Waterhouse stop, with a 0 stamped on it, and is engraved "English Lens Co, London", I have checked my copy of the Lens Vade Mecum and nothing is shown.
    The second lens is a C.P. Goerz, Berlin, F4.5 Dogmar 195mm. I believe that it's from about 1920 by the serial number but can anybody tell me if it will cover 8x10 as it seems to be a bit heavy for 5x4? What is the image quality like for the period?
    Thanks,
    Pete.
