Greetings all, much thanks for the warm welcome! I appreciate the advice and commentary. From what I've been able to find online the Anasco Agfa field cameras were made between 1925 to 1939, with the later models being the grey with plastic knobs.
I appreciate the heads up on X-ray film, but will stick with the devil I know for now and run some Ilford NP5 through it. I'll certainly be sure to post the results when I do.
Good to know there are others in Jersey to commiserate with. I haven't looked, but is there a meet up group or anything like that?
As for shops near me, there is both Allen's and New York Camera & Video in Bucks County, PA. Both about a 20-30 minute drive. Le Camera is much closer, but I'm not a fan of their store or the salesmen I've encountered there so I'll drive up to Unique to buy a roll of film before I'd darken the doorstep of Le Camera. Of course B&H and Adorama can deliver to me next day is need be, but I like to support the local guys when I can. I shoot a lot in Philly and really miss Calumet. There are a few lens rental places in Philly, but as far as I know no legit camera stores.... Hmmm, that may be a business opportunity!
Thanks again to all of you!
