What do you typically find as the degradation of dated Fuji NPS?

I shot a couple rolls of Fuji NPS 160, outdated 2006 film last week.

The shots came out with low colour contrast, looking a bit washed out / faded.

My film processor guy told me that the exposure was correct.

I'm trying another roll with t different lab this week - a lab that is more experienced (i.e. better, more expensive).

My question - what do you typically find as the degradation of dated Fuji NPS?

- more exposure needed (i.e. slower speed)?

- faded colours? So more Photoshop / Lightroom time if I want to "improve" the prints myself?

So other effect, or combination of effects?

Vick, NPS has low contrast and 'washed out colours' to begin with 🙂

I'm shooting some 2006 vintage NPS160 from a 100ft roll at the moment, the only difference between that and shots taken on new is that it has a purple-ish cast. Although this could have been caused by the scanner (I normally use V700, but used Coolscan for these).
