I've encountered a pair of oddballs in the past few days, oddballs about which I know little. Knowing that there are people here filled with knowledge even more esoteric than my own, I figured this was the place to seek enlightenment.
First is a Kodak No.4 Screen Focus. Seems to have the wider roll film back; I don't know if the 4x5 back is integral or a separate part. My recollection says it had a Zeiss lens, but I can't find any reference to that, so perhaps it was Goerz. Seems fairly complete but tired. I'd be thinking about flipping it after a desperately-needed cleanup and service. Ideas about what it might be worth and any other useful info would be great.
Second is a Foca Universel with the 50/2.8. Looks interesting, but I wonder about the quality of the build and the character of the lens. Sample shots or anything regarding durability and optical qualities would be most appreciated.
