I'll second Jim Couch with my own experience.
My late 1970's slides from Hollywood
RGB lab 5247 processing were far gone enough to through out last year
(after only dark, but not temp/humidity controlled, storage).
I haven't found the negatives yet! On the other hand, many other emulsions
from that era have shifted as well. Scary to think of the potential damage
to motion picture stock. Let's hope the negs are in better shape!
