A Film Experiment

Expired film, cross processed

So, back in the late nineties I bought a Canon Z135 camera, specifically to take on a holiday. I used the camera for a couple of years then gave it to my daughter when she was going on a school trip.

She found it recently and I got it back. I'm thinking that, being fully automatic, it will be fun to give it to my grandsons to play around with and shoot the odd roll of film.
