expired foma 100 & 400 worth shooting?

[LarryP]

I was in the freezer and found 10 rolls of foma 100 and 400 expired in september 2014. Never been one to shoot expired film but hate waste is it worth giving a shot at this point?

That's so recent that unless it's been badly store it should be fine.

Rats! I was going to say that !

It will be fine. I'd down rate it a bit - 1/2 stop less than your normal EI.

I'm still shooting Arista 125 (fp4+) that expired in 2008. I still rate it at 100 like I did the day I bought it.

That's almost certainly unnecessary, especially with the 100.

The ISO 9002 that many companies adhere to means films now have much shorter expiry dates than they used to, this is more about stock rotation than the film actually deteriorating, a few years ago films had expiry dates or around 5 years. So as other have said your film is fine.

I'd shoot it. But if you don't want to, you can always send it to me.

thanks

Thanks guys thought it would be ok as is but just wanted to check. I remember at one point wondering what happened to it, turns out it was hiding behind something. Now I have enough film to enjoy the new to me 100mm f4 macro for basically the cost of developing.
