To be honest, I really wanted to load these up one at a time, and write poems for each of them. They are good memories, and strong emotional images for me. I may do so, at some later date. This Agfapan film I picked up at Loomis Camera, a great place. The owner often sells highly expired films, and always comments that "the dust is free". There are many wonderful items there, enlargers, ancient cameras, accessories and lenses....but, I digress. This film is 400ISO shot at 1600EI, developed in Tmax developer. It did expire in 1986, and in retrospect, I should have shot it at box speed, and not pushed it at all...Live and Learn. The tones it produced at a 2 stop push were pretty nice, by my standards, and even though there is some 'underdevelopment' going on, or 'underexposure', none of the highlights are blocked up and there is still a pretty wide range of tonality, even if I sacrificed some sharpness. I'll never complain about expired film again after this. I'll just assume I screwed up somewhere and try to figure out where. :)
