A new user's first post can't contain images, it's an antispam measure.
From now on you'll be able to post images without problems.
Nice images, welcome aboard!

I seem to remember (not sure if correctly) that Kodak Ektar lenses were strongly radioactive, that even the camera that contained them (for aerial photography) became radioactive for simple proximity.

The Aero Ektars are, I don't know about the ones on the Medalists.

Another option is to get a broken Kodak Tourist 620, or one of the later mostly plastic bodied 620 cameras, then grind away some stuff in the feeding chamber so you can fit a 120 roll. Then use the camera to transfer film from 120 to 620, without a changing bag. The later cameras are light, you can even bring it along to transfer film on the go.
