I've been on a huge film binge this year. After shooting with a Rolleicord, I knew I wanted to get into a medium format system camera. I recently picked up a Bronica SQ-A (I just couldn't pass it up at $140).
Here are a few shots from the first roll I took with it. These were taken on film that expired in the 1960s:

The roll was developed at home.

Supposedly the film was frozen, though there is no way to be sure (or to know how many owners had it over time - I'll definitely be the last as I intent to use all of it:) )
Color film, along with high speed film, doesn't do as well with age. I have a bunch of old/frozen 800 nd 1600 speed expired color film. I should probably dump it, though I can't bring myself to do so. i need to start developing color at home before experimenting with that stuff too much.
