why hassle with it. I've shot quite a bit of expired movie film and the results vary widely.
IDK if I'd bother to screw around with it.
Would you say it's not worth the chemical expense, let alone the time?
Hey Jason.. I was thinking maybe this was a question for you since your bio says you were (are still?) a cinematographer. And here I caught your attention. Hmm... In any case, was it P.T. Barnum who said something about suckers? :rolleyes: I guess this time it was my turn.
Well, I got this for a measly $3.99 plus $9 or so shipping. It was .. a gamble. Maybe this would make a good paper weight for a giant?
I'm wondering what other uses this could be used for. Maybe I should give it to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo to be used to train students how to load film onto spools for developing. Oh, I've got an idea.. You know that American tradition of "T-P'ing" that neighbor's house you don't like? I could pick a worst movie, find the producer's house, and "T-P" his house with the contents of this spool! LOL.. I'm stretching.. There has to be some kind of use for this! (That must be my grandmother's voice in me who lived through the depression).
Here is what came up with to handle those long rolls.
Wow, that is ingenius! Are you particularly adept at "MacGuyver-ing" special purpose concoctions? I am thinking about something like this that might fit in a changing bag since I cannot get my darkroom dark enough for 100% darkness. ...
I am thinking about something like this that might fit in a changing bag since I cannot get my darkroom dark enough for 100% darkness. But the changing bags are just too small. Maybe one of those tents might work better.
As I recall it didn't keep so well, and it's been out of production about five years.
Not quite true.
Agfa cancelled the production of cine camera films in the begin of 1995.
The XT 320 was released in 1984 and, I guess, was produced untill the early 90ties.
Some master stock was sold to the Orwo company to be converted and sold as cine stock under the Orwo brand in 1991.
Anyway, any XT 320 stock should be quite outdated by now.
