Hello all,
I've got a question in regards to some old boxes of film I got when I purchased my 4x5 camera.
In particular a box of 50 sheets of Ektachrome 64 (EPR 6117) expired in 07/1996 (if that helps). Feeling around, I noticed that many of the sheets in the box have no notches. At first I thought maybe they were spacers in between film, but when I yanked one out, it was not the case. It's certainly film, although I couldn't tell you if it was transparency or negative by looking at it.
Anyways, what I'm wondering is: would there ever be a case where Kodak would have *not* notched their film? I'm just not sure if it's all EPR 6117, or if the fellow I bought it from mixed and matched boxes of film willy nilly. Is there anyway of identifying one of these un-notched films?
Also - on a slightly different note: I notice alot of this older film (I'm told it was frozen, but who can say?) has a slight bend in it. It's not as rigid as some of the new film I've bought. I know it's not ideal to use older film, but I'm kinda broke, and the temptation to practice with all these old boxes of Pro 100 is hard to resist. Any thoughts on whether or not this 'bend' is a bad sign or not?
Thanks in advance,
