About Expired Film
What does expired film look like?
Expired film usually has more grain, shifted colors and lower contrast. Color film often shifts in color, and shadows get muddy. Black and white ages better. Results vary from roll to roll, which is the fun of it. See Random Expired Film from $12.50, or join the Expired Film Club.
How do you shoot expired film?
Overexpose it. A common rule is to add one stop for each decade past the date, so set the ISO lower than the box says. Keep your camera settings simple and shoot a whole roll the same way. Tell the lab the film is expired. Try a cheap roll like Konica VX100 Super first.
Can you develop expired film?
Yes. Our Brooklyn lab develops expired film the same as fresh film, at $18 a roll or $16 for members. Tell us the film is old when you drop it off. Old film can fog, so the scans may look hazy or grainy. Typical turnaround is 4–5 days.
How can you tell if film is expired?
Look for the expiry date printed on the box, usually as a month and year. It is usually printed on the side or the bottom of the box, and on some rolls on the canister. Film kept cold lasts longer than the date suggests. Our fresh 35mm film has dates years ahead.
