Rolleiflex Automat, Tri-X (expired 2002), developed in Xtol. Printed on Ilford FB Classic, scanned on HP Photosmart 4599.

 

My Rolleiflex Automat had been sitting on my shelf collecting dust for nearly 20 years. With fingers crossed, I ran a roll of expired tri-x through it a couple weeks ago. I'm thrilled with the results: the old-school Tessar lens seems to make everything look pretty. The only issue I encountered was user-error. The shadowy area on the right edge is where the film reel crept up on the spool during development.

 

The film was expired in 2002, shot at EI 200 and developed normally in Xtol 1:1 (developed normally for 400-speed). Since its purchase 15 years ago, the film was stored in a box and subjected to drastic changes in temperature.
