Expired Polaroid 679
I was making inventory og my Polaroid stash, and found out I had one really old film, namely this Polaroid 679.
This film was replaced by 690 around 2003, and my film expired january 2001 - so it was nearly 8 years old.
To get something out of this film, I had to overexpose and overdevelop.
I shot with flash, and should be able to get well-exposed pictures at f22@1/250 developed for 90 seconds.
That did not work. Pictures were dark and dull, and the emulsion was extremely gooey.
Opening up to f5.6 and 600 seconds development helped.
