SF-7 + outdated 'MX200' film in Reading Berkshire
by Peter Elgar
Keep getting GIVEN a cassette of outdated Film every week now by a new Camera Club member for me to try ! Latest one was a 12/2006 dated 'MX 200 ' actually KONICA made for the 'Max Speilman Processing Labs' I stuck some paper over the DX Contacts to make camera default to 100ASA -- Blasted SF-7 does not have any 'Over-Ride' of DX OR any Exposure Compensation. I used a SMC Pentax-F 35-70mm f3.5-4.5 kindly given by a Forum member. I tried 'Program + Flash', 'AV' and TV' and Manual 'GUESSED' exposure modes. I processed the film in some C41 mini-Lab Developer given to me when Brentwood BOOTS Photo-Lab closed down.

Alchemists and magicians disappeared in the 17thC ! Nice to know that you are keeping the spell books dusted off.
More seriously, it did rather well didn't it.

Great result with good colours. You've inspired me to dust off the K1000. Still have a roll of Fuji film from 2010 so based on your results will give it a try.

Great work, Peter. The effort was well rewarded.
I don't know when you were there but when we walked down Broad St on Thursday there was no sign of the bus ?
Must be a 'magical' one that only comes out at night !
Best regards
