This film is sometimes hazy, brilliant, greenish, vivid… not only are the colours completely unpredictable, but this is also a bit of a villain kind of film.
It’s the only type that stole both my Holga foam pads on separate occasions and sucked them up into the roll, very cheeky I say. I picked up 10 rolls of this stuff on Ebay. The film was listed as being out-of-date from 2001-2006, so I knew I was going to have some fun with it.
The colours in my first roll were almost like slide film – amazingly vivid and bright! The second roll was quite normal, the third went ballistic and turned sepia with a filter. After that I had some fun with portraiture and what I got were skin tones that were subtle, fine-grained, and eloquent.
I used this film in conjunction with slide film when going out on photo-taking expeditions. It worked well because with either type of film, I knew the results wouldn’t come out “normal”, and that’s what I really loved about 160VC expired film.
