Shel, In the late 70's and early 80's I used the 'cheap' 5247 films from the specialty labs and they have all faded to magenta.
If you could track what types of film you were using it might be an interesting study.

Some were shifted to brown, some to purple, and some looked just great. These photos were all handled and stored in the same manner, and rarely exposed to light. Why would some fade and others not? -- Shel Belinkoff mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.earthlink.net/~belinkoff/ - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
