Polaroid Pond

My friend who gave me the expired Polaroid 600 film also had one pack of peel-apart 669 film that had expired in 1998.

 

I loaded it into the Anguloid—truthfully, expecting to find it all dried out and dead. But every shot developed fine.

 

You can see a stripe down the middle where the goop spread a little unevenly, but this is actually the only one from the pack that had a developer gap at the edge.

 

The aqua cast of 669 just gets stronger after it expires, I guess. Maybe some chemist can tell me why 669 goes cyan as it ages, when expired 600 does the opposite.
