Re: 40 year old film

[Jan Faul <nyce2jan@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have about 45 CD’s from 1992 which work fine and they have TIF files on them. Or course what I though was a big file then, is nothing now.

Last week I found an exposed roll of Plus X I shot in 1976 and left in a old Kodak film can.  It wasn't worth the effort for me to process it, so I took it over to my favorite independently owned camera store and had them process it.  I picked it up this afternoon and was shocked to see that: it wasn't fogged; it had thin but clear images that I shot with a Olympus Pen F at the J. M. Davis Gun Museum in Claremore, OK.  I have no explanation why the film survived so well.  It had been in temperatures as high as 120F.
