Just got a bunch of expired film. Suggestions?

Kodak 120 Ektar 25 that expired sometime during the Dark Ages, around 1990 I think. Exposed at ASA 25 & processed by the Fuji lab that Walmart sends film to. Scanned by Epson. Postprocessing in Lightroom. What's not to like? Virtually all of the color film in my gallery was about the same age as yours and also came from a wedding studio going digital.

Rumors of film going bad are greatly exaggerated.

That's very promising. I'll load a roll today and see what I get 🙂

Stay tuned.

Cheers - John

My Pentax 6x7 is very envious of your hoard of 220 film.

220 film was mainly used by marriage and nature shooters, In studio/ with asistents loading the backs, 12 frames per subject was usually just enough. I am shootig 70mm perforated in a big hasselblad back. Using the very thin Aerocon B&W film, I have 200 frames, enough to any shoot per day. The thin filmbase with 200 frames is TRICKY to load on a huge nikor steel reel. Once mastered it is a great way to work.
