I had 20 rolls of Fuji Neopan 400 that expired in 1989 in the freezer and I just had to see if it was possible to use it. Developed it as 400 in Adox FX-39. The 3 picture is exposed at
1. 400 2. 200 3. 100. Fairly grey base but useable at 100. 📷 Yashica FX-1

So true. My experience with low iso film is so much better. But at least the Neopan 1600 had surprisingly low base fog for its age

I will expose them at 100 and develop as 1600. I got loads of expired 100 iso films Kodak Ilford Agfa Fuji with various expiration dates. I know all these films has ben stored really cold since the day they were purchased and they usually work at box speed. 400 iso film and higher doesnt work as wel

Considering how old the film was and the high iso I think it was pretty good at 100. It had some base fog, but I have seen worse in lower iso films. I got 2 rolls left in the freezer

An old photographer gave me some Fuji Neopan 1600 that has been kept in a freezer since the day it was bought. The expiration date was 1991, so I had to try it. Developed it as 1600 with Adox FX39 and the exposures on these 4 images are.
1. 1600 2. 800 3.200 4. 100

Macoohot UP64c expired 2004. Shot at box speed with my Kiev 4am and developed in Adox FX39. It was a little bit under developed. Only had that roll.

It’s a sunny day here in Stockholm. Let’s try a new combo.
Macophot UP64c expired 2004.
Apparently it’s repackaged EFKE 50. What can possibly go wrong.

Jag skannar själv. Har en Plustek Opticfilm 7500 till småbild och en Epson perfection 4990 PHOTO till mellanformat. Kör med Vuescan. Hade gärna haft en Coolpix, men Plusteken funkar bra.

And the first rule is, don’t shoot it with a half frame camera if you dont want grain

I really thought it would be better than this, but I got it dirt cheap. So I put it in the experience account. Got 4 rolls left in the freezer.

Shooting with my Agat 18k a Russian half-frame camera from the 80’s. I loaded it with some old expired Classic Pan 200, a repackaged Fortepan 200. The camera is good fun, but the film totally sucks. Grainy and crazy contrast. #believeinfilm #analogohotography
