A stop per decade?
Since I couldn't tell my Yashica EZ-Matic camera to overexpose my 25-year-old film by a couple of stops, I decided I'd use the Sunny f/16 rule to my advantage. The EZ-Matic has a range of apertures that can be used with a single default shutter speed. I figured that speed was about 1/30 second which was ideal for adding a couple of stops of exposure while using the Sunny f/16 rule. Here, I shot it at f/8, trying to expose the underside of the overpass properly. That worked fairly well.
The stop-per-decade adjustment is approximately right with this film.
Scanned on my Epson V700, and with a fake yellow border added in Paint Shop Pro at the top, to try and match the real yellow elsewhere. Black line added in PSP, too.
