Accidently posted when May was June 😖, so re-post but different narrative.

This was a test shot when running a roll of B&W after disassembling a lens. Incorrectly stated it was the 400mm...but it was the 135mm as I checked my written notes on which frames were with which lens.. Was advised that the lens (actually, both) were toast as the aperture stuck open in the 135 - discovered when processing film - and the 135FD was know to have this problem due to a part that breaks and spares no longer manufactured. Believed it for years then saw a YouTube video disassembling that exact lens...so why not! There was nothing broken...and I didn't see anything that could break other than perhaps a spring. Noted oil on the aperture blades cleaned off with rubbing alcohol...and works fine!

This is a two-parter with follow-up tomorrow. Taken with a 1926 vintage Kodak Pocket Camera #1 which, when folded, ironically fit in my pocket. I was wearing cargo shorts though. Happy to say I resolved the light leak issue which was 100% user error. Bellows didn't leak, but the latch that hold the back closed slides way too easy and it quickly popped open on the first roll. This time placed black electrical tape - color blended well - over the latch and door ledge that kept it from sliding to the open position and told me film was inside.
