Ricohmatic 225 samples

These are shots taken with a Ricohmatic 225 on very expired film from a Semi Gelto I had bought and that had quite a few exposures left. Normally if I find a half used film in a camera I try to use it with that same camera, but the Semi seemed too dodgy to be used, so I decided to finish the film in the Ricohmatic. I took it out on some quite dull days, as happens in Scotland, so not the most exciting photos perhaps, but the film had survived remarkably considering its age. The two ghost-like 3x4 photos at the bottom from the original Semi Gelto were taken probably over five decades ago and certainly seem to be from a more exotic location. Or perhaps just on a better day!
