Free camera test results

I bought some gear from Rick58 and he tossed in a free AGFA Optima IIS, so last night i put some 16 years out of date T Max 400 in and went out in not so good light

I really like the Ivy Gary. Nice job. Amazing results with 16 yr old film!

Yeah...okay..but how well would it work with, emmmmm, say, 25 year out-of-date Tri-X? Huh? Or ancient HP-5 from say, the early,early Margaret Thatcher era? Or maybe some old Ektachrome 64 Tungsten left over from the RAF internal media services stash from the Falklands war? Now THEN we'd know how sharp that camera really is...until then, this mere 16 years outta' date T-Max shooting and developing and printing all means NOTHING! Nothing I tell you!

Get me another pint!
