25 year old 7291 16mm - Verdict?


Recommended Posts

I've just purchased a load of 25 year old 7291 16mm. Still boxed. Do you think It will still be useable? Obviously im not after perfect color reproduction. But do you think the film could be fogged too much?

 

I would have a snip test done. Otherwise, you're just guessing.

Last summer Dejonghe transfered some comparable stock for me. Most of the dynamic range was indeed eaten up by fog. Some shots came out quite nice in my opinion. Like badly faded slide film. Others were just bad in any way.

 

It was fun to see and do, but is has no practical use whatsoever. It also very unpredictable.

 

Can you resist trying?

It might actually be okay, being only 100 speed.

 

I had 19 year old EXR 50D that was great (due to it's low speed).

 

Shoot it at 50 and get a stop pull I would reckon (after testing) if you haven't done so after all this time.

 

 

I've found a way to remove fog on colour film, but it's a DIY job, you'd need a tank big enough to load it in first. I've only experimented on it at still lengths.
