Well . . . . Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, Over?

[Ozark Wolverine]

I was inventorying my Film Stock and came across 6 Pro Packs of 220 roll film:

1: 1 Pack of Kodak Pro 100 Color Negative Film, exp 07/1999
2: 1 Pack of Kodak Portra 400, exp 07/2001
3 2 Packs of Kodak Portra 160, exp11/2001
4: 1 Pack of Kodak Ektachrome E100 VS exp 02/2005
5: 1 Pack Kodak Vericolor 400, exp 12/1993

I acquired it in 2016 or so from an estate auction in Syracuse NY. It was in a freezer when I got it so it is reasonable to assume it has been frozen since new. It was in a huge lot of 35mm and 120 roll film. All frozen. The guy was a highly regarded Portrait photographer in the area.

I do have a Hasselblad A-24 film magazine but I am not sure of it's state. Cosmetically it is excellent.

What would you all do with it? Shoot it or sell it and invest the money into Fresh Film?

I'd shoot the ISO 100 film at ISO 50 or, if that comes out too thin, at EI 25. I would not bother shooting the ISO 400. Leave that to the creatively inclined ;-)

You can give it away and make someone happy. I know that someone. I'd...I mean that someone would also have a use for the 220 backing paper as I slit down my own film and have fresh 220.

It's all good shoot it. There's people who would trade their 1st born for that Ektachrome. That'd be 8 exposure roll in my G617.

I'd shoot it and enjoy.

Maybe some brackets for the first roll (box speed, +1/2, +1 would be my choice)

Edit: Also a reminder to us that we should use our film, as we will not be making any exposures once we are gone and we don't want to leave someone else with the problem of working out what to expose it at.
