Luis -----Mensaje original----- De: lug-bounces+luisripoll=telefonica.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+luisripoll=telefonica.net@leica-users.org] En nombre de Jim Nichols Enviado el: mi?rcoles, 31 de octubre de 2007 4:44 Para: LUG@Leica-Users.org Asunto: [Leica] IMG: Lesson Learned LUGGERS, Off and on, over the years, I have used out of date B&W silver film with very few problems. Recently, when I wanted to check out a Pentax 50/1.4 lens that had come my way, I grabbed an out of date roll of T400CN ( 4 years out of date), and shot a few pictures. A couple of days ago, I finished up the 36 exposures and took it in for processing by the same lab that does my C41 color work. What surprised me is the level of fogging, if that is the proper term, for it looks like grain, that I found in the low-light images. I must admit that the film was not refrigerated. Is this the experience others have found? An example image is linked below. The light color is metallic silver, and the contrasting color is black. Note the grain-like appearance in both the light and dark areas, but especially in the darker areas. All of the negatives were like this in the shadow areas. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/Mirror+with+Turn+Signal.jpg.html Jim Nichols Tullahoma, TN USA _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
