Expired 55y/o Kodacolor-x 620 in C41 developer × 8 Vermont in Kodacolor-x

This concludes my experiment in processing vinatge, expired Kodacolor-x C22 in C41 chemistry. I shot my third roll of Kodacolor-x and exposed this roll one stop more than previously (1/25 at f8) in the same camera. I then processed it in room temp, exhausted Cinestill C41 chemistry but this time I stand developed it for 1 hour. I think I got a bit thicker negatives that are certainly scanable but probably wouldn't print well if I was doing photochemical printing. I made one error that may have affected the outcome somewhat: during final rinse I inadvertently ran hot water into the tank which may have slightly melted the emulsion (C22 does not like heat!) but I still got scanable results with maybe a bit of "film soup" effect. I think my second effort was the best of the three but still I would recommend stand developing at room temp for 1 hr in exhausted C41 for C22.
