Yes I experienced that with old type 55. Somehow my negative got solarized. Maybe the fixer doesnt work well when old ??... Nice photo anyways :) you are killing it with the aeroektar !

^ I think you're right--the fixer component of the reagent wears out over time more quickly than the developing agent does. This leads to solarization when the image is peeled apart. I don't mind it when I plan for it, but sometimes it is not the result I want. This one was a total surprise. As for the Aero-Ektar, I love that lens. It makes almost everything look magical!

Yes that's the way! Welll deserved, so original...

^ Thank you! The funny thing is I thought this was a failure when I first saw it because it was so far removed from the photo I had planned to make. But now that I've lived with it for a while I like it much better. That's the beauty of expired film--the surprises.

cruel beauty

^ And the irony is there was sun peaking through the clouds and it all looked so pastoral. The final result, however, was much different, obviously .

^ (That should have been "peeking" through the clouds, not "peaking." Whoops.)

^ Thank you. I'm getting low on my type 55 stash, but better to use it up than let it languish.
