Thanks to you all for your replies. Some very useful information. I think I'll have Monaco do the clip test, as suggested and see what that turns up. We're going to shoot in late October, in mid-day light in the desert, so over-exposing won't be hard. Because I'm curious, I plan on mixing in some fresh stock and see what differences I can detect. I'll let you all know what I find. Thanks again for the comments

Hello all, this is my first posting to the forum, which has been important to me as I learn about shooting film, so thanks for all the help so far and I hope someone can help me with this question too: How does stock change when it's this old? Does it change its sensitivity to light? It's contrast charactersitics? It's color response? I'll be shooting with old kodak 50D (7201), 250D (7205), and Vision 500T (7218). It was free, so why not? It's about 2 years old and has been kept at room temp in San Francsico, probably an average of 70 degrees. My plan right now, lacking any experience with old stock, is just to shoot as I normally would and see what happens. But I wonder if I should compensate in-camera or at the lab? If anyone has any experience with this I would really appreciate a hint. Thanks
