....or, "How I spent my weekend." :lol:
Started off with 4 boxes of expired Time Zero (the "real" TZ, not the newer, dye-faded stuff), and am now down to 1. My fear was the film-pack batteries would have died but they worked fine. Shooting the pieces of film caused some breach in the prints of a caustic paste, so a great deal of it was trashed. Some came through fine, and I quickly learned I got better results with this old film by letting the prints harden for several hours before attempting to manipulate them. I then warmed them up and worked them on a piece of glass over a heating pad. I still had to be careful and not "squish" with as much pressure as I could use with fresh film, but I was more or less pleased with the overall results. It was nice to get the rich colors back!
Here are the results:
