for 35 years out of date I am surprised at the "quality" of the images - I would have suspected that you would have had very fogged images!

Me too, first of my similar roll was pretty crap , but it was process in lab and subject was landscape which is hard anyway on B&W. I did give it a try for this old Hungarian film and I like result too.

These are a great result for 35+ year old film! I'd be happy with that for sure!

If you took pictures where the cars & trucks were not in them, some of these pictures would be really "timeless". Cool

Was this 120 film, and did you do any exposure or development compensations for the age of the film? Aside from the scans, how do the negatives look?

It is 120 film, negative did look foggy , unclear. I think I did extent developing time with one minute. Film is very curly based on hard layer , even with hours of ironing with heavy books still curly.
