Highlands Heather comparison

I'm sorry I don't have more from the old HH because it's not mine, it's stolen from a letter (please forgive me, friend!!!), but the paper is the same as my new HH mini-review, and to my eye these scans are accurate.

I'm including a scan of an attempt to replicate old HH. I came close, but not exactly. And moreover, the SM Burg:Lex mix looks quite a lot like the new HH, which is actually a nicer color to me!! (And it flows WAY better than new HH!) It won't do the UV-thing, though.

On my monitor the old version looks bluer than the bottle of old version I have. It looks more like the second of your replicated colors. I really like the bluish version, though :)

Oh wait, here's even more fun I found... This now turns this into a "new HH" review. I think I'll double post, if that's okay. Cheers!

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
