[/IMG]I’ve got lots of old film from Years ago laying around. I finally decided to try an old roll of Vericolor S 120 I shot with my Rolleicord Vb early ‘80s. My Daughter is now 42 with 5 kids! This was cross processed as BW in D76 at 72 degrees for 12 minutes. All the images looked good and with today’s tricks on the iPhone, well, I’m happy!

Interesting. I also have some sitting in the refrigerator (several rolls), but in my case I found them in my dad's garage (probably hits 90 F plus in summer) where they sat for potentially a decade or more. I suspect it is not worth the risk.

[/IMG]That roll was up in my Very hot attic all those years. I think ignoring the color and going BW is by far the answer. I think the cemetary shot is Great as BW, it’s got better midtones and grey scale than I’ve seen on a lot of images.
 
That's fantastic. It must be amazing to see these images, like a time capsule being unearthed. It gives me some hope for the disc of Fuji disc film that's been lying around since the early 80s. I just don't know if this disc film was exposed, I'm assuming it was. Fingers crossed, I'll be sending it to Film Rescue at some time in the future.
