I've processed 3 rolls of 120 and two rolls of 135 film in one go. Two EFKE Spektar 120 (supposedly rebadged Konica) shot and expired in late 80s, one roll of Kodacolor Gold 200 120 shot and expired in late 80s and two fresh rolls of Fuji C200.
Processor is Jobo CPE2 1520 tank + 1530 extender. Developer is Fuji Hunt C41 X-Press Kit 5L. Fresh film came out just fine, Kadacolor has some fog but is usable, but what bothers me is that unknown EFKE film. It came out totally green and dark.
I was told that it is C41 film, what happened here? Age of film, developing error, type of film? Can this ruin my chemicals?

I once had a roll of Agfa Vista+ (ie Fuji) come out entirely magenta - processed professionally and other films processed at the same time were fine. We concluded that it must have been either the very first or very last film from a batch and the manufacturing equipment was not quite stabilised.

I would say that it is probably the age of the film. It is after all 30 years old.

No-one so far has covered your final question. I am no expert in these matters but I doubt if the "green film" will have harmed your chemicals

It looks like age and the bands make me think it was out of its foil wrapping for a long time. Atmospheric contamination affected a a roll of VPS that i had done at a lab the same way
