Right, er, basically heres the deal. Was going to Brompton to help pas (bottom image) shoot some footage for his 16mm project. Thought id bring a camera so grabbed my bronica and relised i had no film, so rummerging around in some draws i found some film giving to me by a mate that had expired in 1980. So thought what the fuck, might as well. Also decided its time to stop being lazy and start metering properly, which meant no invacone anymore (non photo geeks you might not understand), so reflected light meter reading only using a rough zone system in my head. Quite chuffed with the results. The film has degraded in some places (which is surprisingly cool, look like lith prints), but stayed amazingly sharp in others. I meterd at 400 although it was 200 iso, then pushed it in processeing to 800 asa. Anyone got any expired b/w 120 film, pass it over!
