Well I had around 12-15 years newer film then what you had Matt. I still have some Super XX in 4x5 I really should use up, as it too was fogged when I shot it over 15 years ago. That was dated in the 1970s. Ron Mowrey gave me this film in the early 2000s, bless his heart.

Im making a video on this whole process. I'll post the link when I have it uploaded.

I still have some 4x5 Super-XX that still looks pretty good. It has some fog but not too bad. This box of 100 had been frozen since the late-1980s.

(Angulon 90mm ƒ/6.8) Note, you are not seeing much (if any) barrel distortion; the house is in the process of collapsing and sinking.

I could really piss off Youtube and put in the song- "Don't Worry- Be Happy".

Just wait until January... there's going to be a rush of royalty free recordings released for the first time in 20 years. This is a big deal... I'm getting out my pre-1923 78's

Very good results from those old films, Braxus and Kodachromeguy. Remember that the film was made a year or, most likely, two years before the exp. date, so that 120 roll would have been made in 1956 (or 1955 even).
