The Coverage Of My Carl Vandyk Petzval Lens

Unfortunately my new brass lens does not cover 8x10. I tested it on the Deardorff today. I will have to make do with using it to do 4x5 film-glass negs and 4x5 black glass ambrotype plates. I have a wet plate back for my Deardorff that will do 4x5 and smaller so will use it to make pictures with the Carl Vandyk petzval lens. I can always enlarge the negs.

The new wooden lend board I bought for the lens works great!
