For those of us that deal with sensible date formats

12 February = 122 day
11 June = 116 day
12 June = 126 day

I shot a roll of colour too, and a roll of very expired Agfapan 25. The results from the later were, well, not very good unless you were looking for loads of fog & frame numbers!

Here's a couple of XPan format colour shots - Kodak Gold 200:

Grain in the sky is visible, but not bad. One would expect hardly visible grain from a T-grain film in such large negatives, but then I have never tried Delta 100 The "grain" is likely compression artefacts as the full size scans show very little. I only had a red filter which would have ...
