You absolutely refuse to use film that is not at least a quarter of a century old. I am not like that, Pete: I use film that is about half a century old.

Nice, and, actually, a bit noble because of the gentleman's superb poise and even his underplayed confidence. For a f1.4 aperture, I sense a longer depth of field than the picture should have, but maybe my perception errs.

At least you have bona-fide garbage cans. Here, we have 'solar compactors' that usually are so filled that one cannot put anything more into the 'bin'. The sun does not do a good job at 'compacting'. - David Lyga

Very good! I too love his pose and the look on his face. Just wonderful!

David -- I DID buy some 'fresh' film but even the last remaining of that is now 'outdated' ... I was given a lot of film by a Studio Photographer who came to our Club and asked " Who uses FILM here?" =-- so of course my hand shot up - " But all mine is outdated now" I replied -- " Oh -- if you want some outdated film come to my Studio as i want to make room in my Fridge for my BEER" he said -- so I rushed to Benfleet here in Essex with my Boy and he took us through to his Darkroom and opened a fridge and loaded packets of 35mm and 120 films into a plastic bag -- we got Panatomic X dated 1984 even , which i have used up + that AgfaPan 25 in 120 and 35mm + colour neg and slide -- loads of it !

@pentaxpete
Had I known this I would have boarded the next BA flight from Philadelphia and beat you to 'Benfleet in Essex'. The Panatomic-X will act as if it did not know it was kept since 1984. That film is indestructible. I have gotten some golden deals like this, Pete.- David
