Louisvillebuddy · Jan 23, 2019

Hi,
If you have tons of expired 35mm films that you want to giveaway for throwaway price(low price), please let me know. I can use that for my personal project in coming summer. My friend placed ad in here and bought expired films which he used for his personal use.

Thanks

Don't we all?

Not all of us! I would never use expired film.

I don't have quite a ton, but...I have 24 expired rolls, all but 1 of which is Kodak Gold. The odd-ball is Agfa HDC 200.
If you're interested, I'll fill in the details.

Your loss is our gain.

Bring on the stacks of discontinued dubiously stored film! The Max 400 from 1994 stored in a glove box! The Tmax100 in the old packaging! Give me your bulk rolls of Tri-X from the 70's, your Plus-X from the 00's, rolls of 100 speed 120 from Latvia, your APS, Minox, 110, 127 and unknown branded cassettes from a PX in Kuwait!

I've shot 'em all and have never yet been disappointed. Must keep feeding my cameras.

The cost of film is relatively cheap compared to developing and printing. I would never use expired film.

I develop myself so the cost is near a non issue. Throw in 250 foot short ends of cine film and I'm shooting rolls for less than a dime if I score a good deal.

I appreciate Cholentpot's enthusiasm.
I would caution though - I think he/she and I differ on issues of colour fidelity, crossover, repeatable sensitometric response and a whole bunch of dry, technical stuff.
Which is absolutely fine - my photographic anally retentive nature is not for everyone.
But if you share some of that, be wary of expired film.

Yep. Film to many is a tool. To me it's a hobby to play with and have fun. I don't rely on it for excellent repeatable results. Oh, I know how and what to do when I want it but it's not worth the effort for me. If I want clean dependable repeatable results with no hassle I can always shoot some other electronic format. The same way I can always use my word processor when I don't feel like using my pens.

That being said, it is annoying when I expect to get results off a roll of fresh film sent to a lab and it gets messed up.
