New (used) camera test: Kodak 200 print film, expired 12-07, metered at 100. <br />
<br />
Came from a lot of three, and I knew this would work beforehand.
If you live in the states you can get a kit from Film Photography Project for under $30. Get an foam cooler and some 1 liter pop bottles. Everything else you already have. Follow instructions and you're good to go. I hoard my film until I have enough rolls to use up a kit and then develop everything over about a week.
Shooting expired and doing home C-41 go hand in hand. C-41 in some ways is easier than B&W. All film has the same time, the only challenge is temp control which to be honest is not that hard. I get about 24-28 rolls out of each kit. Being that I shoot mainly expired I don't really worry about color shifts all that much.
