   Dear mackiechartres.
   Firstly, I have no experience in using and developing the film you are interested in.
   But there is a great similarity between your result and the observations of enthusiasts living in Irkutsk. Just pay attention, they test the film, which is 10 years old (maybe more). This is a link to this article https:
   foto.profrisk.ru/kodak-vision3-500t-5219/
   If it was not possible to translate, then their output in English looks like this:
   So what did the tests show? The film fully meets expectations. The colors, as sellers write in advertisements - “branded Kodak ones” - have not gone away, and the proven sensitivity is suitable for all automatic machines without exception: you can shoot anywhere (or almost anywhere, if with a flash or with backlight), the film confidently holds the range ISO 100-200 (it’s better not to try above 200 units, then you can pull out “light and shadows” with very noisy graininess, as happens with a clear lack of lighting)....
   I take a lot of photos with sagging film. After reading this material and evaluating your photos, I think that it is worth listening to the recommendations of these experts. They are right not only in the recommendations of ISO selection, but also in assessing the quality of the film. (They are happy with the film).
   As for the cost, this is a question that I will not undertake to comment on. Haven't bought anything in a while...

   Looks like a 1970s postcard. One of the reasons I like it!

   well thanks, @cjf , maybe I should retire from working in an insurance company, and make a business of selling 1970s style postcards. Not sure if it would pay a lot, but sure I will have more fun !
