I found an expired film in sungei rd. Expired on 1992. Can it still be used now?
 

you can try
no one can say for sure, i think, based on what i read

expired film just gives whacky effects
just use it for more frivolous shots lor
and use it fast, if you have more than one roll
then maybe you can predict how the others work, i don't know

this is coming from a film noob, teehee
but since no one reply you, i just reply you =)
 

Use it and show us the results :D
 

woah, 15 year old film.. almost as old as some of the younger CSers here.. should be able to use, just don't expect fantastic results from it..

anyway, do share your results..
 

sungei road can buy film?
please try and show results. :what:
 

too old film...

over 10 years.. usually unusable due to heat at sungei road

once u take..
go develop
the emulsion might MELT and cause the machine breakdown.. lol

i develop a 20 years old film b4
not stored under sunshine but at staircase..
the emulsion melted and cause it to stain the machine
luckily can clean

Whoa sounds so scary!!
 

Nevermind, I've used film from 7-12 years old, and the only thing that happens is you lose contrast and color..

Mind you I didn't live in Singapore, so I don't know what the effects of the hot sun will have on the film.

Film has a peak and a fall to the chemical activity, this can be slowed down by keeping it in the fridge. However, in the hot sun it can speed it up.

So 15 years of hot sun, maybe not usable, but I don't think the machine will have problems with the film. As long as it feeds in..
