What camera/film?

that's VEERY old film stock. I'm guessing your deep freeze is in a shed in the orkneys?

Aye... couple of years ago , discovered a pack of 4, ORWO,b+w ,400 ASA film stuck in the back of a cupboard. Musta been there for about 30 or more years.Ah used ORWO a lot back in the 70s/80s. They were in a sealed cardboard box, in a sealed plastic bag,musta bought and forgot them. They were never refrigerated but were sealed individually in thick foil - Good old East Germany.The camera is a Yashica Electro M5, cost me a fiver! Simple camera with an excellent lens. A true point and shoot.:cool:

I had a similar yashica electro something or other (35?) great little rangefinder cameras. Quiet leaf shutter IIRC.
