So I finally got around to shooting and developing the roll of Kodak Verichrome 620 film that expired in 1967. Let's just say I was pleasantly surprised. The film all came out great, and all the flash bulbs fired as they should have. I couldn't have been more happy.
This image was taken in front of a white backdrop so it allowed for a good comparison between Tom's hair/shirt and the background. The flash is so powerful and so bright that it left a great shadow on the back drop.
It's safe to say that the Duaflex, despite it's age, still makes great photographs. I'll be happy to experiment with it more in the future - I have 3 more rolls of Verichrome and a few rolls of Kodacolor X in my fridge, all 620 format.
I also plan on using these preliminary shots as a jumping off point for both the rest of the black & white film and another project I plan on creating using the negatives. I'm very excited to move forward and begin printing in my (almost finished) darkroom.
Cheers to success and progress.
