Poly Pan F iso 50 film

3 rolls left here. Probably will be shot before the end of September.


Then... 50 rolls of rollei retro 100 (agfa apx 100) kept from 2010 in the freezer. Like good old wine 😀
 
Nothing changed since I reported my last two 90mm bulks to have same emulsion defect.
I'm still using this defected film to test FSU film cameras which they sell, send to me as working. I load ten or so frames to check exposures at different shutter speeds.
Just did it couple of times this week. Another FSU camera from "reputable" seller to be taken apart to find out why it is dragging the shutter.
 
In the last 4 rolls I processed this appears randomly, it is not dust or dirt, it is in the emulsion:

never had a problem with polypan, I wonder if this defect has to do with film age (bought it 8 years ago, there was no expiry or production date on the can as far as I can remember)
The film was stored in the freezer for all these years.
 
Single white spots appear randomly on my scans. In an older batch I had issues with black dots after scanning, but I think it was rather messy darkroom work. I stored my Polypan always at room temperature or in the fridge, never in the freezer.
 
We have been straying around in the riparian forests quite often in the past few weeks to collect our annual requirements of Allium ursinum.
