A few weeks back I bought a few rolls of expired 135 film from a car-boot sale and the seller threw in an extra bonus in the shape of a roll of 120 Tri-X. The 135 films all expired in the 90s, so I'm pegging the Tri-X at around the same age, although it wasn't boxed and there was no expiry date printed on the foil-wrapper. The only thing I have to go on is that the roll was labeled as "Tri-X Pan", not just Tri-X, and the backing paper was a green colour.
Anyway, I guestimated the roll as being around 25 years expired and decided to shoot it at 160asa. The results are pretty nice, considering my uncertainty of the films age and complete lack of knowledge on how it might've been stored. There's a bit of additional grain in the shadows, but on the whole they're pretty nice.
These were taken on the Five Weirs Walk in Sheffield, which traces the course of the River Don through the industrialised east-end of the city. The river is in lovely condition these days (compared to the polluted eyesore that it used to be when I was a kid) and is now a regular haunt of anglers.
All shot with my Yashica Mat 124 G.
