I should say that all the chromogenic film I've shot is still 
printable, including the Agfa stuff that came out a long while ago 
(1980, I think). True, some fading has taken place in some of the 
film, but it is all quite printable, if maybe on slightly higher 
contrast paper. It's not like with colour neg stuff where you have 
colour shifts and serious crossovers.

I have an excellent lab here for C41, and non of the stuff that he 
processed has shown any noticeable fading. Within the last few years 
even some of the local 1hr places have achieved remarkable quality 
control.

Still, 95% of my B&W film is regular stuff.
