Horse Chestnut
Taken as part of a double test. The camera is a Zenit EM Russian SLR, it has the 1980 (Moscow) Olympic logo on it, and I plan to use it during this year's London Olympics (but not in London, or at any sporting events!).
The film is Jessop's "Diamond Everyday" colour negative film, expired in 2005. I bought six rolls of this for 50p each in a charity shop, and used half a roll to see if it had any life in it.
The camera works, but as is so often the case with the Zenits, the focal plane shutter no longer runs at a constant speed, so exposure varies across the frame, I have corrected this to a certain extent in software.
The film shows some colour shifting, but otherwise seems OK, though there is some general background fog, presumably as a result of the ages process.
