Shooting long expired film KODAK Ektar ASA25 and Polaroid ASA100

And time has come to shoot some long out of date (Meaning well expired!!) colour film.Now I'm a die hard Black and White shooter and I rarely see my images in colour. It's just "not my beach" and although sporadically I get colour film, I rarely use it for my own work. But one day I was perusing OLX and just saw a too good deal to miss.And yes, those long expired Fujifilm 100 costed me 1€.Here I used my Nikon F2 (which is not my cup of tea) and my Minolta 600Si. The Kodak Ektar 25 was shot at ASA 3 and the Polaroid 100 was shot at ASA 12. The Polaroid was somewhat fine, the Kodak could have been better shot at ASA 1 (Too thin negative)

Nice photos. I schoot fresh and expired film all the time. I cross process my slide film.

@@thevoiceman6192 I don't use colour that much as I never got around to like it. Last 3 years I probably did only about 75 rolls of colour film. I know it's not that much but I feel that I can better transmit a feeling or idea better via black and white eliminating the distraction of colour :) . Just to give you a better idea, I probably shoot about 200 rolls a year (that being 120 or 135) so the relation in these 3 years is 75 rolls of colour Vs 600 rolls of B'n'W...

How can you possibly say the Nikon F2 is an ugly camera? It is beautiful! It is one of the most iconic cameras ever made! It was the "Leica killer" and was used to make the most iconic photographs ever shot in a war zone (Vietnam). I have one in my hand right now and it is beautiful. It is a merger of aesthetic and functionality. It is definitely far superior to the Nikon F (which I also have). I own all Nikon film cameras from the F to the F6 and I would choose my favourite as the F2. It's probably the best film camera ever made! And you know it will never let you down.

Hehehehe! And I have two of them and I'm looking for a third one, that being with a serial of September 1975, that being the month and year that I was born. But yes, I really don't like this "very ugly duckling" from Nikon and my other F2 has the standard non-metered prism which I find it "okayish" on what concerns beauty. On what concerns this, I several times prefer the original F with the Photonic on top. I have a special relation with this camera as a few years ago I was in the hospital, fighting for my life during the first lockdown, and I asked for a camera to be "smuggled in" via the dirty laundry exchange. I was confined to a bed but keeping my mental health "alive" with a Nikon f by my side and a handful of rolls ASA400. Then, as I slowly recovered, hospital staff just got used to have a patient with a weird camera wrapped around himself at any given time :)
