Topic: Remember last year's 'share the love'?

So Hungry Mike in Tronna sent me some 127 rolls last November, including several Kodak Gold 200 expired in 1990.  Now that I'm doing my own C-41 I decided to shoot one of them.  Arbitrarily decided to shoot it at half box speed and develop normally, and that's what I did.  Fully expected nothing at all on the neg, but here are some samples of what I got.  Kodak is magic!

And the colors of old Gold have something special to them... I've got one in my camera I need to finish.

Expired Kodak Gold 200 has never let me down.

It's only 25 years out of date :-)

I'm amazed at the way it rendered the colors.  Some frames seem to have a slight magenta shift, but not across the whole frame (like the top one above).  It was magic hour (about 6:00 in the evening) so maybe that was the light and not the film.  The reds and greens are dead on target.
