Post Ah, well you see the Bessa there is actually a super secret original T version. The T actually first stood for Bessa T.a.r.d.i.s....Problem is whenever you hit the button is makes a whooping noise and disappears for a few minutes only to show up again in a completely different place and a tad worse for the wear. ;) Actually the 120 was just run through my YashicaMat124G. It was from a propack of VPL that has been in my freezer since 1996 shortly before going out of date. (Does Kodak even still make VPL?) It processed and printed wonderfully, leaving me to believe that its sisters there in the cold (next to the Ice Cream) are still fine and useable. I also have a propack of PlusX that went out of date in 1984 and several propacks of Vericolor II that went out in 1987 that I need to try out next. (I've had all this since it was new of course...I just don't shoot much MF.) I just got a Walz Light Funnel for the shooting lens of my Yashica and figured that I'd take it out of its case into the light and celebrate a little. Carpe Luminem, Michael (BTW thanks for yet another refinishing option recommendation for the IIIc.)
