<p>To me it looks like foam in one of the processing stages, probably development. The only vaguely similar thing I've seen that's the user's fault would be if the film got wet (like you had a roll go through a washing machine). I'd avoid using that lab again.<br> It's a cool effect, if you had intended for it, otherwise...</p>

<p>I also suspect it is Natura 1600<br> As far as I know the only other 1600 film Fuji made was Neopan Presto, which is listed as being discontinued in 2011. Would be nice to have them make it again as a competitor to Delta 3200.<br> http://fujifilm.jp/personal/filmandcamera/film/color/35mm/index.html</p>

<p>Cyanotypes might work in the field, since all you'd need to 'develop' the image would be water. Image quality won't be the best, but you should get a usable image.</p>

<p>Years ago I did a couple rolls of Fuji 800 in D76 1+1 for 12-13 mins and got passable results, so maybe 8ish minutes for D76 stock?</p>

I've got a couple rb67 and an rz lens that need a cla (slow shutters), does anyone have a recommendation for someone that does a good job? I've seen Forest camera repair on google, but no forum reviews. Thanks

<p>You're looking for a CJW or CJT bulb (ANSI bulb code). There's a few on ebay right now.<br> For future reference, I used donsbulbs.com search engine, since I knew the voltage, wattage and base. Usually that site with list/cross reference the ANSI bulb code.</p>

<p>I believe the connector you're looking for is known as "ASA Bayonet" there's a cable that might work for you on ebay here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ASA-Kodak-Bayonet-to-PC-Female-Flash-cord-NEW-hard-to-find-/250957836771?hash=item3a6e40b1e3:m:mwSK1NSZmyOL5TOoRTGHt7g<br> otherwise Paramount Cords ( http://www.paramountcords.com/product/custom-cord/ ) can make a cable with any end you want.<br> I didn't see any one piece adapters on ebay, but that's not to say they can't be found.</p>

<p>Fungus on a lens will easily cut its value in half unless it is exceptionally rare. For a lens could sell for $500+, I'd say its well worth it to get it cleaned, considering that I doubt a CLA would cost more than $150-200. In addition, a freshly serviced lens will sell for more if you advertise that fact.<br> I've used Zuiko.com for servicing before (an SPn), and was satisfied with the results, if you were looking for a technician.</p>

<p>The Pentax MZ-S (35mm) and 645N[iI] (6x4.5) both have built in data recording, on either the edge of the film or in between frames.</p>

<p>For the archives, it sold for about $2200 more than I'd pay for it (ended at $2600). In some further research, I've seen some mention of 'fraternal' Kodak petites, as being extremely rare, clearly it was worth it to some people!</p>

<p>I've been watching Ebay for years, hoping to get that rare deal where everyone else misses the bid, and I saw this:<br> <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-41537-Kodak-Petite-Accordion-Folding-Camera-/221459645777?ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1123">Kodak Petite Accordion University of Michigan</a><br> <br />Now, I know that the colored petites aren't all that rare, and while the ones with the patterned doors are uncommon, they do show up a couple times a year. I've never seen seen one with anything but a pattern on the door, and besides the Boy Scout/Disney models, I've never heard of Kodak doing 'special orders' on cameras, but the plate looks awfully authentic for someone to have just riveted on something themselves.<br> Anyone got thoughts, or seen one like this before?</p>
