Old film

Old film
My neighbour Nancy was shovelling her driveway in mid-February when I was out and about taking pictures with a roll of Ektachrome 50

(Tungsten) that had expired in November 1979. That means the film had been waiting around to be used for probably 38 or 40 years. I shot it more or less at rated speed. The images were very very thin after being developed in regular E6 chemicals this week, so I did some substantial curve management and ultimately converted them to b&w (using here a green filter).

Typical of film this much expiry, there is some pretty substantial printing of the paper markings through the images.

I *think* I shot them in the Yashica A, but I might have used the Mamiyaflex. I can't remember and don't think I wrote it down. The original scan of this is nearly 30 MB but I resized it way down to
post it here.
