Old film, old camera, old friends in the pandemic

We were out walking last November and ran into two friends we'd not seen in a long time, and it being the middle of the pandemic, they were especially good to see.

The film in my camera (Rollei 35TE) that day was some very old Fuji Sensia II slide film that another friend had assured me he had bought in about 2001. He'd stored it in a camera bag in a closet since then.

I'm not one to trust old E6 film, but I thought I would try. I shot the film at its rated speed (100) and then tried to get it developed. That took nine months and two labs. But this was the result. Not too bad, all things considered.

And a lovely picture of Noreen and Phil.
