I just purchased a super graphic that came with a Carl Zeiss Ikon 10.5cm/4.5 Tessar lens (serial #. 1560309), and a Kodak Ektar 127mm/4.7 lens (serial #. EO 1554). I would like to know more about the quality and capability of these lenses and their limitiations. Any information that you could provide would be of great interest to me. Thanks for your help!

Your Zeiss lens was made around 1934 and will cover 2.25" x 3.25", not much more. On 4x5 it should make a circular image. Your Ektar was made in 1946 and will just cover 4x5 with minimal movements. If they're in good order, both will give very good results.
Cheers,
