Shooting Expired Film. The rule of thumb for shooting expired color negative film is to add one stop of exposure per decade it has been expired. For example, if you shoot a roll of Kodak Portra 400 that is 10 years past expiration, set your camera to 200 ISO (one stop over-exposed) and develop the roll as normal.
To shoot expired film, any expired film, over-expose the film by one stop. Just one. A single stop, regardless of when the film expired. Set the exposure compensation dial to +1, or do it manually. After that, just meter normally, shoot normally, develop normally, and expect the worst.
What was the last film camera ever made? You'll know that the last professional film cameras were the best film cameras ever made. And since the Canon EOS 1V was the final 35mm professional SLR that Canon built, you'll know that it is quite simply their best. Made in the year 2000 and produced until 2018, it proudly ushered out the era of film.
Kodachrome, as you may know, is the film manufactured, and since discontinued in 2009, by Kodak that required a proprietary process to develop–essentially a “secret sauce.”. The last lab to have the capability to develop this process, Duane’s, ceased all development in 2010..
Step 2: first developer. Your chemicals should be at 38 degrees C. Pour your first developer into your tank and use the agitation stick to constantly agitate the film for the first 15 seconds, then every 15 seconds spin the stick 2-3 times until you reach your stop time.
This is part of the reason for shooting film, revelling in the sheer variety of what you can shoot with. Keep it cool: The first and foremost thing to do with expired film is to keep it cool. Sticking film in the fridge – or, even better, the freezer – slows down the degradation.
