kodak gold 100. seattle. september 14.

Last week, Andrew Morang (Kodachrome Guyhttps://worldofdecay.blogspot.com/) asked if I wanted a couple of rolls of expired film. I rarely shoot expired film, but I was curious to see how it would turn out. These images are from the color roll he gave me.

I asked how I should shoot it, and he told me to give the film an extra stop of light, ISO 50, and develop it normally.

I decided to shoot the roll in Seattle. It was cloudy, and I knew I would need to use slow apertures.

I used the Voigtlander 58mm Nokton 1.4 Lens mounted on the Nikon FM3a.

I developed the film in Cinestill’s color developer. I scanned the negatives with the PrimeFilmXE using VueScan.

  1. I’m glad you got to try it. The colors are a bit muted, and it looks more grainy than when it was fresh. I sure wish Kodak would re-introduce Gold 100. The new 200 in 35mm size (in my opinion) looks coarse.

  2. Grain is my favourite inclusion in black and white. Never really noticed it in colour. But here, on witnessing more closely, it is still pleasing. I always feel grain gives a uniqueness to film imagery. All the best Steven.

      1. I have many black and white rolls of Food. My singular word for film out of date. I haven’t shot anything for many years now. My friend gave me dozens of colour film rolls that are decades out of date. All basic TruPrint rolls. I am really liking your excursions into colour film use Steven. The colour palette results are fantastic. Your skills in lovely subject framing too. Cheers and all the best.
