Tldr, sent my Kodak Special 620 & 616 folding cameras to Sarah Davis Photo Repair for cla'es & new bellows made/installed, what she sent me back was two broken cameras, one being a Kodak Special 616 that had the lens for the 620 on it (the whole shutter part moves) & firing arm that broken the 2nd time I fired it, and instead of returning the Special 620 she sent a low end kodak 616 camera with pinholes in the bellows. When I messeaged her about it all she said was "
but the shutters work"
Inbetwwen sending em out & getting em back, I had gotten some rolls of 616 film off ebay, dont know how they were stored before I got em, but theyve been in a ziplock freezer bag since I got em.
So in general, pretty miffed about it & dont wanna be stuck with em so out they go to whoever wants em. If you got some rolls of 35mm film you so happen to not want, Im open to trade these for whatever lol
*US Only*
If you're like me & likes trying out expired film to see what you get (I have no idea if youll get anything truhfully) OR you just need some 616 metal spools & backing papers. The boxes & wrappers are all torn, the roll of Kodacolor is still in its metal (?) wrapper. The "1960" expired roll of VP does have a peice of tape on the end of the backing paper, but all of the rolls have not been shot/exposed.
1 roll of Kodak Kodacolor Type A 20iso (12iso with 85 filter) (Expired: 09/1952)
4 rolls of Kodak Verichrome Pan 125 (Expired: 03/1960, 05/1964, 05/1966, 12/1969)
