Hi, Nick, Could be two different models. Sounds like Paul's has a ~much~ larger filter ring than mine, which is 62mm. Also, given that it's a cheap lens, there are likely QC issues from sample to sample. I also think that much of it is that some are more demanding and critical than others.

Just have it developed normally. You went to an honest shop. No one pushes C-41, at least in a processing machine. Bill Robb will tell you it can't be done at all. However, I think he is wrong about that, it can be pushed if you hand develop it. But C-41 film works quite well at one stop underex
