Ok, so i'm sure this has been covered a tonne of times, but just out of curiosity really.

I recently bought a job lot of fujifilm, with rolls of Neopan 400 (all expired 2011) rolls of Velvia 100 & 50, provia and sensia (expired between 2008 - 2011)

I'm going to shoot them all, just because I got them cheap, and if they're not as good as they were when in date, then so be it, it's still fun shooting :)

I read a lot of reviews on sites, some people claim that expiry dates massively effect the quality (especially high ISO, eg: 3200), others say films are fine 10 years out of date etc...

Anyway, to cut a long story short, what's the longest out of date film you've shot and had developed? how was it? posting pics would be cool too!

roll of 35mm Ilford XP1, shot in 1981, left in camera (in the camerabag, in the loft -exposed to freezing/baking conditions) until early 2010, developed and printed at local boots.

Image quality was AWFUL - grain the size of cobblestones, colour castes aplenty - much as I expected :lol:
 
Shot a roll of ISO800 film that had expired around 2000 - metered for ISO200, shots were very grainy but not a roll wasted!

This was consumer print film though, slide is known for being a bit finicky with storage.
