I felt lucky.
Not very long ago Heather Champ started the I'm Feeling Lucky group, wherein she distributed 100 rolls of expired Chinese film for free. I felt really sad to miss the boat on the first 100 but when a second batch of 50 made it I signed up instantly.
I got the film last week and used it this past weekend during my shoot of Erika & Karl. The results? Surprisingly good! The only real issues were photographer error (fuzzy shots, there were a few) and random pink spots on many of the photos. But overall, not bad.
This also gave me a chance to borrow Jeani's SLR (a real, honest-to-gosh SLR) and it was kind of cool to work with film. Interestingly I also had to borrow her PowerShot A80 - my old camera - for the shoot as... my camera is broken. (welp) It went back to Panasonic for warranty repair today.
In the meantime, though, I'm really happy with these Lucky shots. Thanks again Heather!
