Plus-X Pan Expired 1979 and Electro 35 GS
Looks like I forgot to reblog this post from 52 Rolls. It is my Roll 7 for 2016 and features film that expired 37 years ago shot on a camera that is about 45 years old.
This roll of Kodak Plus-X Pan which expired in 1979 came to me via a giveaway draw at Utah Film Photography. Check out Shaun Nelson’s post for more and better images from the bulk roll. And while you are at his website, have a look around at a lot of other great film photography.
In my response to the giveaway I said I would shoot the film in an Olympus XA2.

not to be a spoilsport, but I remember when last year I went to have a few rolls of B&W film (which I developed at home) scanned by a professional. One of the rolls had a few “private moments” and I almost snatched the film strip back from the guy 😀 … of course he understood, but I learnt something as well …
All the best David 🙂

Haha! I knew that wasn’t happening with my mother’s folding 620 camera.
