Old film

[owdbuzzard]

I found a few rolls of long out of date film in the back of a cupboard are they likely to be useable? The youngest one is dated 2001.

Colour? They'll probably work just fine but with slight colour shifts that are usually easy enough to correct post.

B/W should be ok, but if colour you would have to give more details.

Use them and pretend it is LOMO.

In fact you would not have to pretend, it would be.

Thanks. It's a mix of slide and print. Some Kodak and some Fuji

Plus one TMX 100 black and white

Shoot them one stop slower...ie: if rated at iso 200, shoot as 100. This allows for the deterioration of the film emulsion.

One stop per decade ood is generally a good guide.

They'll still be usable if shot at box speed although perhaps a little underexposed ( could be pulled back in pp though)

Thank you
