    PC-TEA Longevity

    I've been doing some cleaning and found a roll of 120 Neopan 400. It expired in 2005. I don't remember ever shooting any of that film, and so I don't know why I had a roll. I also found some bottles of PC-TEA w/bromide that I mixed up in the same year. The concentrate was in 100ml brown glass bottles, and they were filled just short of the brim. Just for fun I loaded the film in a Mamiya rangefinder and took some photos outside. I had to guess at exposure, as my meters are at the studio. Development in my Jobo with the PC-TEA was also a guess. Despite all of this, the images came out just fine.

    Pc-TEA goes on forever, as PQ-TEA.
