An old friend of mine used to work at a well-known chemical company. His cynical view was that the company's operating philosophy was to sell customers as much water as possible. In a similar vein, I've long had a theory that film manufacturers sell their old expired stocks as 'experimental' or 'boutique' films. Sadly, I've been a bit of a sucker for these materials in the past, and am now trying to burn through a backlog of film so I can get back to shooting my favorite boring old standbys.
Anyway, this particular film is known for being low contrast and quite grainy, but this subject seemed to suit the material well enough. Plus, the grain will be mellower in the final print.
Tasting notes: Leica R9, Summicron-R 35mm.
