It should be a Phillips 13139 for the newer V35 with the screww in two piece bulb carrier and a phillips 6604 for the older V35 that is held in by a screw in single piece. There wrong bulb will not focus the light properly and cause your problems. I had asked you about the bulb the last time you complained, but I got no reply. My times for 11X14 Ilfochromes is in the thirty second range at F8. Your 16X20 should be in this thirty second range at f5.6.
