photo from week 195 - Kodak Brownie Starmite
The gritty urban subject of this busker in a concrete jungle seems to suit the expired film with its imperfections.

Seriously under-exposed, I took a chance with this one, as the camera has no "B" setting, I couldn't use a tripod and make a longer exposure, and outdoor mirrors are few and far between, so I made do with the rather poor light coming in through the window. The backing paper markings are much more noticeable on this one.

As I had rather hoped, the backing paper markings are visible on the negatives, though in this particular photo they blend in with the subject matter quite a lot.

Week 195 - Kodak Brownie Starmite
This is a pretty basic 127 Brownie, it has 2 apertures, but no other controls, not even focusing. I've loaded it with a very expired roll of Jessop B&W film, which is marked "Made in Croatia" and no doubt comes from the Efke factory. I found two rolls of this fim in my dad's garage a while ago, the other one I used in week 80, that one showed backing paper markings on the negatives, and I expect (hope) that this one will too.

The photos from the Halina were somewhat lacking in contrast, I suspect this is partly due to the lens being uncoated, but the expired film may be a factor too. I took it with me to an open day at Manor Lodge in Sheffield, there were a number of 1940s themed activities, this is a land-girl using a pedal powered threshing machine.
