Hello, I'm new here and I'll apologize in advance if I've placed this thread in the wrong forum. Since I'm not sure exactly what the problem is (which is why I'm posting), exposure seemed like it might fit.
I purchased a Canon EOS-3 from eBay and put in an expired roll of film. (No, I have no idea how expired, and I don't have the negatives at the moment to tell what film it was. An oversight, to be sure.) I received the negs and scans back from the lab and am not sure what to make of the results. I'm quick to blame them on the expired film, but based on some of the threads I've read on the forum, that may not be the case.
They are all very grainy and seem underexposed? Wanting to test the camera quickly, I resisted the urge to go manual and shot full auto. These were pretty great lighting conditions so being underexposed seems odd. I'll be thrilled in you tell me that this is likely due to expired film.
Thank you for any insight into this issue. I currently have another roll of film going and am eager to see what these results will be.
