I got a few 12 year old rolls of film with my Mamiya M645 when I bought it, Just got around to shooting one of them.... I wish I had 10 rolls of this stuff!

12 years old is quite fresh compared to some I have

Me too. I've shot film from the 60's, but the oldest I currently have in my fridge is about my age, from the early 70's.

ps, nice shots there, 6cm! :)

Indeed, I love the first two! What speed did you shoot at?

Well, I always forget to take notes....but It was a sunny day, and I was using my Minolta IV F meter.   I always set my meter for the box ISO, and typically go for as high of an F stop I can go without the shutter speed dropping below 1/60t,  if I'm without my tripod. - I like the deep-crisp DOF, though it's hard to tell at this resolution...

Aye, I often do the same, unless I'm shooting indoors of an evening.  So box speed on 12 year old Pan F 50 - cool!
