You can actually use those 18 shots first to determine the settings that will work best for your expired film. This should work like a charm for the black and white film. In fact, if it was stored well, it might not even lose anything and you may be able to shoot at the box ISO. With C41, it should also work, but it can get more expensive because the developing process is much pricier. Mathieu used two rolls of color negative film, both expired in But the second roll produced some beautiful images!
So, theoretically, if you want to make film photography cheaper, you can shoot on expired film. With a little bit of adjusting, you can get pretty good shots. Mathieu Stern]. The only way to find out is to shoot a roll and see. Some lose saturation as they age, some are more prone to colours bleeding, or a colour mask emerging in the background. Last year, I shot a roll of Kodak Ektacolor film that had expired way back in It cost me less than three lira about 80p and I shot it exploring the backstreets of the traditional neighbourhood of Balat and the bustling commuter hub of Eminonu on an old Soviet Lubitel TLR.

If you can find these films — an excellent tip here on how to recognise the original Precisa from the rebadged Fuji Slide you can still buy under the Precisa name — they cry out for cross-processing. Firstly, because they remain the best films for this kind of processing, and secondly because the degradation that comes from film ageing can actually boost the atmosphere, grain and colour warping of cross-processing.
Seek bright conditions: Just like cross-processing, expired film will need plenty of light for the best results.

Each set of developed photos will be unique, which is part of the fun! As the emulsion deteriorates, the film becomes less sensitive to light.
The easiest way to solve this is to shoot outdoors in broad daylight. You might experience a bit more grain, but the quality will remain high. The problems arise when light is in short supply.
If the conditions are dark, or if there are large contrast areas, you will encounter problems. More grain, of course, but also a loss of detail and vitality. But you can expect more grain in your final images with this technique. This type of sensitivity compensation is called Pull Processing. Push processing is also possible, but with expired film you need more light rather than less.
When adjusting the ISO in this way, there is a general rule of thumb. For each decade past expiry, lower the ISO by one stop. If the film has ISO and is ten years out of date, drop it down to This can be a handy tip.
But not many older film cameras have ISO settings below , so it is limited. Also, try to use the same camera. Using a different camera can affect your results. Bracketing your exposures can help you nail down the f-stops you need for certain conditions. This is a great way to use a test roll of expired film. To bracket your images, you can take three shots of the same scene. The first shot can be with the standard exposure setting for that environment.
