How have your old Photographs fared with time.

It is that time of year again, when I make copies of my old photography.

I have found my B&W negatives developed at home, even in the grotty flats I rented in London are still as good as the day I developed them, as long ago as 1975. Kodachrome slides have lasted well too, even after Fifty years. Ektachrome developed in a professional lab forty years ago are still good. My almost Fifty year old Agfachrome slides have turned purple with age, and are devilishly difficult to duplicate.

How has your photography from the past lasted?

Brick Lane in the early Eighties.

An Agfachrome, from about 1975. The colour has almost vanished from the original.

Camden Lock late Seventies

Brick Lane, Late Seventies.

Crow's Nest Pass Canada -1990-something - Zeiss 50mm f/1.8 Pancolar - Praktica MTL-3 - probably Kodak color negative

I presume these are scans from prints.

These seem to have held up pretty well over time.

Praktica, were pretty popular back in the day. Another forgotten brand.

Actually, color negatives scanned by all-in-one Canon MG8120.

Well, I never shot film. I began with the Canon G1. Here are a few with the G1 (3 MP compact), G2 (4 MP compact), and G3 (4 MP compact) -- they've stood the test of time for me!
