William, Did you give standard process to these films. I ask because I have some 2 to 3 year old C-41 process films that I have neglected to process, and as more time passes I am becoming more reluctant to face the consequences of my sloth. They will be processed in my Jobo ATL-1000 so I can manipulate the times fairly comprehensively (+/- 2.5%, 5%, 10%, 20% as well as 1 or 2 stops push or pull). The opinion of a lab professional like yourself (or Aaron or any others out there) would be of great value. TIA.
