This pic was taken today with an old Argus Seventy-Five that I got from my grandmother. It still
had film in it, with ten exposures left. The film had to be 40 years old, or older. I took the rest
of the roll and developed it. Only the last few turned out.

Argus Model 75 ,Kodak Verichrome Pan

other sizes: small medium original auto

Nice shot, cool result, fascinating story. I have a similar, though less story, partially told here:http://www.pbase.com/listorama/image/57808974 .

Exactly. The other pictures were much worse, spot-wise. I set the camera in the window sill and held the shutter open for 5 seconds or so.

That's pretty cool. I'm assuming the spotting is from the age of it and it being in the camera that long. Great pic..love the perspective and the spotting adds age - which makes sense..lol
