Panning Out Well - Exposing a Roll of Expired Agfa Isopan ISS in 127-Format


I recently had the opportunity to expose a roll of Agfa Isopan ISS which expired in 1974.

The Isopan ISS is a 100 ASA film, and in this instance was rolled onto a spool intended for 127-format cameras.


The exposures of 127 film are 4 cm wide. I used my Yashica 44 to make 4x4 cm size photographs.


I gave the film two stops extra light, since it is so old, hence measured for 25 ASA.



As always, using the Yashica 44, the experience was very satisfying. Now, seeing the photos, I am truly humbled by this old film.


I did not have to do any major editing to get these wonderful exposures out of the negatives, using my Canon 9000F Mark II scanner. I only added some contrast.



 Welcome to my Instagram ourbooksmalmo and my Etsy shop gOBphoto, which is filled with old cameras and their accessories.

Celebrating 20 + Articles Elsewhere

  I have had a fun eight years burrowing deep into the world of film photography. Within a few weeks my 22nd contribution to 35mmc.com will be published. The website, which is run by a small group of people, publishes contributions from the global community of mostly film photographers. I have contributed sporadically with reviews and other articles on  photography related issues since May 2017. Almost as long as I have written about photography on this blog.   Disposable Cameras Canon QL17 Rangefinder Canon Demi half-frame Canon Lens Modding Olympus LE Camera Olympus Pen-F Yashica 50 mm Lens     Halina Lens Modding  4 Minolta Cameras Steinheil 50 mm Lens Instamatic Voigtländer Lens Modding Meikai Camera Ricoh Auto 35 Camera     Chaika Camera Modding Redscale Film   Hanimex 110 Camera  Canon 1980s Compacts Canon Prima Mini Camera Reviving Instamatic Cameras Focus-Free Digital Lens During this time I have also contributed a few art...
