Qu'est-ce que le mayak? Il s’agit d’une planche moulée en polyéthylène de basse densité résistante à l'abrasion et aux chocs. C'est un mélange entre un kayak et une planche à pagaie. Elle est munie de deux insertions pour que vous y placiez les jambes en position à genoux afin que vous puissiez vous asseoir sur le banc du milieu. Vous pouvez aussi pagayer en étant assis avec les jambes vers l'avant ou en étant debout. 2, record 1, French, - mayak

(...) la stabilité d’image latente(ce que les anglo-saxons appellent "latent keeping"). Cela est particulièrement attractif pour un film amateur qui a tendance à séjourner longtemps dans l'appareil. Il n’ est pas rare d’observer, au banc de filtrage d’un labo de façonnage, des clichés de sapin de Noël au début d’un film, des vues de plage au milieu et un autre sapin de Noël à la fin. Dans ces conditions, il est difficile de garantir une bonne qualité de tirage.(...) Cette stabilité d’image latente est un réel problème pour la photo d’amateur. La réaction produisant les germes d’argent métallique, qui seront amplifiés par le développement, est un effet réversible dans certaines conditions. À l'opposé, des halogénures qui n’ ont pas été insolés peuvent capter des électrons baladeurs et former intempestivement des germes d’image latente. Cela provoquera un voile sur le film développé. 1, record 5, French, - stabilit%C3%A9%20d%26rsquo%3Bimage%20latente
