Anyone have experience shooting expired film? I got a bunch of this stuff for free. Some of it expired in the mid 90's and some of it in the early and mid 2000's. I have no idea how it was stored. I plan on bracketing the fuck out of it and doing snip tests but can anyone offer any insight? Am I going to have to push it all? I don't care if it's all color shifted and fogged to hell I just want to experiment.

For slide film, Mid 90s, unless it was deep-freeze stored in very good conditions, it will be useless. You'll be wasting your money developing it. Bracketing won't help. Colour shifted doesn't even begin to describe it.

I've found ektachrome and fuji astia from the mid 2000s still shoots fine. Velvia and provia die quicker.

I had a similar haul of old film a while back and haven't had any problems shooting it normally. Color shifts and stuff are impossible to predict so just shoot as normal but don't shoot anything too important.

It's probably going to expose properly, but expect lots of grain in the 35mm stuff.

The Ektachrome, fucking win.

Oh right, I've only shot negatives from my old film stash so far, so I don't know about the stuff you have in the OP.

I also got a box of Provia 4x5 with six sheets left in it from 2001. The Extachrome is from 2005 btw so there shouldn't be much of a problem there.

My plan is to just try a roll of each of these next time I'm in a good shooting environment and see what happens.
