On my walk to Daly Dyke reservoir a few weeks ago (the one I posted about in the film outings thread) I took my Zeiss Mess-Ikonta 524/16 loaded with a roll of Ektachrome E200S that had expired in 2003. The first roll of this that I shot last year (I had two), had a significant purple cast and lots of purple noise in the shadows, so I didn't hold high expectations for this one. The first roll had been shot on my Holga though, so no control over anything other than focus basically. For this roll I overexposed it the film, setting it at 80ASA - I mistakenly thought I'd loaded a roll of 100asa Ektachrome, so overexposed it by a stop more than I'd planned. As it turned out, I needn't have worried. While the results still had a distinct purple cast and some noise in the shadows, I was able to remove most of this with a bit of TLC during the scanning and in Lightroom, and I think they've come out remarkably well given the age of the film, Here are three that I've uploaded to Flickr today.
