I found two rolls of expired Kodak 200

[jernejk]

in my refrigerator. It expired in 2006, but was refrigerated since I've bought it (have no idea when).

Do you think it's still usable or am I better of just buying a new roll?

Kodak 200 Ektachrome? Kodachrome? Gold?

Since it was in the refrigerator it is probably good. If it is Kodachrome use it and send it to Dwayne's before the end of this year.

I think it's gold. I'll check when I'm at home.

Probably still usable.

Shoot the schtuff. Or send it to me, I'll give it to the kids to shoot.

oooh expired kodak gold 200 is probably one of the nastiest things you can shoot. I would use it for something on the fuzzier/artier side like pinhole/toy cameras.

I've shot several ISO 200 films and I thought Kodachrome 200 was going to be different. While I do like the look from it, I am NEVER going to shoot 200 again.

I use expired Kodak Gold 200 developed in black&white chemicals... it gives really nice altered effects

I developed an expired roll of Kodak Gold 200 with fresh Tetenal C-41 chemicals (standard dev times) and got awesome, bright colors. The film was only 1-1.5 years over the expiration date. I don't know how it has been stored before I bought it a month ago. Still 9 rolls left of this stuff. Looks like a fun film.

I agree - GOLD 200 is a good film. I have shot many rolls of it that were seriously outdated and not refrigerated. Just don't use expired film for special events as a rule of thumb - but by all means shoot it for anything else.

wow perminna,
maybe the stuff I used was way past due
your stash looks great

I agree. I won't be taking "important shots" on expired film.

There is nothing wrong with a film simply because it has a speed of 200. Many years ago there was an Agfa b&w negative film with a speed of 200. I have had good results with 200 speed Kodak and Fuji color print film and with 200 speed Kodak and Fuji color slide film.
