James Ballard Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Hey gang, I've got a roll of expired Kodak 500T EXR 7296 in my fridge here that I'd love to shoot. Trouble is it's a) pretty freaking old and b) probably hasn't been kept in a cool, dry place for a large part of its life. This particular film was discontinued in 1995 but could have been made anytime between then and 1989. Naturally there are too many variables to really know how it'll look but is there anything I should keep in mind if I want to shoot it? Rate it faster? Slower? Any thoughts would be great. Cheers, James. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Sponsor Robert Houllahan Posted November 16, 2013 Site Sponsor Share Posted November 16, 2013 Rate it as 100 iso and shoot it outdoors in bright sunlight, expect the blue layer to be thin I have shot this stock from the 80's and that is what I did and it had a decent and interesting look. -Rob- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Cunningham Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Agreed. About two stops over in even lighting. It will have a loss of speed and latitude as well as some color shift that could make for some interesting footage. I love shooting old stock when the subject is not important. Lol.

Josh Gladstone Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 For what it's worth, someone told me recently to overexpose a stop for each decade since it was manufactured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
