I’ve been ogling the 16” f/4.5 Eastman Kodak portrait lens for years and I recently broke down and purchased one. Upon receipt, the Wollensak enthusiast in me rejoiced: the 16” Kodak portrait lens is mounted in a Wollensak #10 lens barrel.

Looks like the 12” Kodak portrait lens is in either a #8 or #9 Wollensak barrel. It’s the rare example of a lens offered in either an Ilex shutter or Wollensak barrel.
