I knew the Diana made 4x4 images, but I didn't realize they were around in the 60s. According to Wikipedia, they were often given away as novelties. I wonder . . .

While "organizing" the chaos known as my photographs, I came across some peculiar negatives from the mid 1960s. The film itself is 120 or 620, but the frame size is 4.25 x 4.5 cm. I've searched extensively and the only camera from that era that I can find that took 4x4 was the Agfa Isoly, and I'm certain we did not have such a camera. To deepen the mystery, I was the person who took the photos, but none of the cameras that I had at my disposal could have taken these pictures. I'm all but certain that the only camera I was using at the time was a Yashica TLR, probably a Yashica-A. I know that Yashica made a 4x4 TLR but that was clearly not the camera that I had, as attested to by the numerous 120 6x6 negatives that I have from that time. Any ideas?

Hopefully you've got this sorted out, but if not, one thing you could try is stand development. If you still have the problem, it's not an agitation issue.

The answer is yes. 13 years is a blink of the eye for refrigerated BW film.
