Expired Provia 400X 120 exposure suggestions?

[johnha]

Hi All, I've found some 120 rolls of Provia 400X which expired in 2014 with unknown storage. Any suggestions would be welcome as to what I might expect or a suitable EI would be welcome.

Thanks,

John.

Shoot at box speed, develop as normal. It will most likely be just fine.

How has it been stored ?.

I have used some Provia 400X that I had stored in the fridge dated 2012 and it worked reasonably well - see: http://tomkershaw.com/portfolio/expired-e6-fujichrome-provia-400x/

I bought a stock of 400X when it was discontinued, always stored in the freezer apart from a few rolls for immediate use (and even those are usually stored in the fridge.)
I expose at box speed, it gets developed using the regular E6 process. Worked well so far.

well, i would use shoot a test roll and bracket some shots at 400, 320 and 240. but I wold guess that unless its been stored in the sun or hot room, it should be fine at box speed.
