20 yr. old K25 w/ Hexar AF

[ampguy]

Was shot on an overcast day, probably not the best conditions for K25. Image sizes from scans on CD were tiny (~1Mb files), was expecting larger from Dwaynes.

But slides are mounted, so I can re-scan, see if some of the mis-focused shots were really that off.

Colors and tones were as expected for the old film.

That's very nice! I did the same thing today - loaded one of my last 5 rolls of KM 25 in my Hexar AF.

Cheers,

Here's a tip

Here's a tip

My 1990 film (not sure exactly how stored) didn't need any EV comp. Keep in mind that 25 is *very* slow, even with F2, so try to use a tripod or support, or shoot it out in bright daylight. Good luck!

Nice. I like the ones of the water and the car park, this last looks like water! And I'm worried about my 2 kodachromes 25 that ended in 95...

Totally impressed by the great color in spite of the age of the film. Good results .

Thanks! I did talk with Dwaynes today, and they said there was an error with the scanning and that I can send back the slides for full high res scans.

The $1.00 for Kodak packaging with Kxx processing is just to get Kodak branding on the slides and slide box, otherwise it's generic mounting, but the quality is the same.

I have a roll of K64 in my Hexar AF at the moment too 🙂
Maybe now the weather is getting better everyone is digging out their slow films? (and burning up the Kodachrome before the deadline)
