2011 expired and C-41 cross-processed Kodak Aerochrome. Shot at ISO 320 plus compensation for a #15 Deep Yellow Filter. Dean Bennici (who cut down and sold these rolls of Aerochrome many years ago) recently wrote on one of his Instagram posts that the emulsion of these films is now really breaking down, even if the films were stored in the freezer ever since. This and a trip to Patagonia were reason enough for me to unfreeze a roll that has been waiting for a special occasion for over a decade. It turned out quite grainy and wasn't too easy to expose but overall I'm happy with the results. The expensive lab-scans were pretty bad - I liked my own scans (Epson V850 and VueScan with multiple exposure and 10 samples, converted with Filmomat SmartConvert) much better.
