With more and more new film stocks becoming available, and the steep prices that some are charging for expired stocks on eBay, why on earth would anyone want to shoot expired films when fresh is cheaper, more dependable and simply better all round? 1 Expired Film actually *is* cheaper. Despite some wishful thinking on the […]
February was a quiet month to start with – probably as I spent a load of time getting all my websites back in gear, writing tons of new content and getting this totally new website set up. Who want’s spare time anyway? Then, end of February it seems like there were sellers on eBay giving
This expired Fuji Sensia 100 was one of the few fairly priced films I’ve found on eBay, although at £15 for 12 rolls of 35mm I genuinely thought this was another expired film scalper selling it by the roll. I half expected to get one roll through the mail, though I was still surprised when
I’d never heard of Konica Impresa 50 Professional, but when I had the opportunity to buy a few bricks of this at £5 a roll who was I to argue. The bag of oven chips had to make way for 20 rolls of this exotic film and of course I had a roll in a
I wonder how many of us out there still shoot APS? I like dipping my toe into any format, so dabbling a bit in APS is inevitable. On the plus side, I can develop it for the same price as regular film and I can buy it expired cheaper than 35mm where I’ve seen rolls
The price for this mystery 110 format color film was so ridiculously low that I bought a brick of 10 rolls for a future re-loading project that will probably never happen. So I decided to shoot a test roll and see what I got, expecting very little! All I could deduce from the box was

These rolls of expired High Speed Ektachrome found their way to me when I bought a pair of vintage hard 120 film cases on eBay, which do that job wonderfully and meant that the film was practically free. It was advertised as three rolls of HS Ektachrome, but turned out to be some Plus-x and

Getting hold of the now defunct 220 film (Shanghai excepted) is getting increasingly difficult, so I had to resort to buying highly expired Velvia 50 from around 1997. At least I got a batch of 4 so I can shoot the rest with some idea of what to expect (and yes, the others could still
Kodak Ektachrome 100 is, thankfully, the only current slide film where it’s future is quite certain – although we hope that any rumours about Fuji ceasing production are just that. So when there’s fresh film, why shoot expired Ektachrome 100? I can’t answer that, as I don’t know why other than I can’t resist a
I’ve had this roll of highly expired Kodak Plus-x in 120 sat in my drawer for around a year. Someone was selling a pair of cool Bakelite 120 film holders for £15 with some random film inside, so this roll was practically free. The other two rolls were High Speed Ektachrome which needed to be
