I found 2 rolls of Royal Gold 25 that had been sitting in house temp for over 10 years. These rolls are probably 25 years old. They were cold stored before that. Being a 25 speed film, I'd thought I'd try my luck and shoot them at box speed. Nope. When I got the processed negatives back, they were severely underexposed and fogged of course. Tried scanning one of the shots up on my new film scanner. All I got was underexposed garbage. It saved it as a B&W for some reason, though it showed the scan on screen in color. So much for the shoot I did on the weekend. This is LOMO at its worst. I probably should have shot it at 6 ISO. I used my 50mm 1.4 to shoot with. I wont bother showing the scan, since its useless. But here is a pic of what the negative looked like. Shame I didnt have more of these rolls. I did a comparison over 15 years ago of the new Ektar 100 vs this film. Royal Gold 25 is basically Ektar 25 anyway, just renamed. I dont think that post is still available with the pictures I showed. Im a huge fan of super slow speed films in the 25 ISO range. Both color and B&W.
