They say you cannot use old film ;o) my neighbor gave be an exposed roll of Gevapan 30 film that had been laying in the dark in a living room in room temperature since mid 1950, it expired 1958, he wanted me to try to develop it for him, I did not expect to get much result but 7 out of 8 shots are ok, there is bad fogging 3-4 mm on the edges and the last shot (the outer image) was pretty bad but otherwise it's ok, you can see what the images is and some of them have good details also I think, and I am not sure I developed correct time either so maybe could have been even better, and pretty impressive with a 60 year old film.

I was just surprised that there was even anything useful in the shots after that long time.
