First time at the Fremont Oktoberfest, Washington. What it lacked in Oktoberfest ambience, charm and food, it made up for in a good beer sampling menu.

I had a few rolls each of Tri-X and T-Max 400 that I accumulated on my desk over several months and then had processed at all once, so I can't remember which picture is which film.

I also don't remember camera or lens. Some look like Spotmatic F and S-M-C Takumar 85/1.8, others K1000 and maybe the M 35-70.

The negatives have the film type on the rebates? The shots are nice!

They do, but I haven't looked at them yet -- I downloaded the scans from the lab (old school photo).

Pentax ME SE, Auto Revuenon 45mm F2.8, Kodak T-Max 400 expired (2002)

Not bad for 15 year old film. I may have oversharpened a bit in Lightroom.

How much has the density of the film's base change compared to any fresher TMY film you have around? I ask because I was shooting up some 2013 expired Delta 3200 and I could see the difference in the film's base with a recent fresh roll I shot with my eyes. The faster the film I suppose the more sensitive it is to background radiation in the long run.

I don't normally shoot T-Max so I can't really say. But I got a few expired rolls for cheap to play around with. Also, I have no idea how this roll was stored. Interestingly, the first few frame or two had been exposed, then rolled back carefully into the canister. I'll post a double-exposure soon.

Very nice Jean both pictures and the model, any time I took out my camera my models vanished at speed.

Nice portraits. I wish I could get my kid to stand still long enough for me.

Nice, I used to have a '64 T-bird convertible. Your shot looks like one from the late '50s?
