Thanks to Thomas for some rolls of expired film! My guess is the film might have been at least ten years old, but I’m glad it still registered an image. Here are some examples of the first expired roll on an F100 and 105mm 1.4E. Out of 24 exposures I think I got about 16 […]

So here’s some of what I shot earlier this year on 2 more rolls of Fujifilm Superia 400. Unlike the two rolls that went into the point and shoot Olympus Stylus I thought I would put the film behind some nice primes. For one roll I used the Canon EOS 750 and 24mm 1.4 and […]
