Svema Foto 65 – Shooting Expired Film from 1989
I didn’t imagine that film which over 30 years expired would yield any result, decent or otherwise. Following the unwritten rule of adding a stop of exposure per decade expired, my film speed plummeted from 80 ISO all the way down to 12 ISO.

5 Frames… On 30-ish year old Svema FN 64 (35mm Format / EI 64 / Nikkormat FTN + Nikkor-H 50mm f/2 Non-AI)

5 Frames… With Svema Color 125 (EI 100-ish / 35mm format / Widelux F7)
I shot these during a walk around my town (Raleigh, NC) on a partly cloudy morning. I’ve been in a bit of a photographic slump lately, so I reached for the panoramic swing-lens camera, hoping to shake things up a bit. I paired it with Svema Color 125, which is one of my favorite color…

5 Frames… With Svema MZ3 (EI 3 / 35mm format / Pentax MX)
