Expired films really works but once you put it on your camera you should shoot the whole 10sheets because when you left it in your camera for like months the picture will come yellowish or vintage vibe
And also expired films will only work if it is stored properly. But if the expired films stored in a too hot or too cold place the outcome will be all white. Proven and tested and i only use expired film for my wide Cams cause its cheaper

Too cold?
So should I store in the fridge or not?
Instax definitely holds up way better than Polariod expired!
It really does!
thanks for spoiling the entire vid 😅
Thank you so much for taking the time to film this video Chris! You made it fun and informative! Definite lifesaver, I have a pack of Fujifilm Instax mini film that expired in 2018 and want to take my Polaroid camera out next week, so I have hope that it'll still be good! At the very least, it will be a fun experiment! Thank you again! 🙏🏼 Best wishes to you & your channel! 🤍
did they work ?
Omg I don't believe in expiration dates anymore! Those pictures look absolutely amazing ! The colors look more vibrant than any other instax I've ever seen !
Exactly!!!
@@JustAnotherChris omg you replied! Thank you so much for this video !! Its encouraging me to buy my first ever instax !
You really don’t have much to worry about when it comes to instax it just works. It’s just polaroid you have to look out for.
watching your video I can say that your findings align with my experience - with a catch:
I shot expired Instax for over a year and recently got some 2013 Wide film packs. Whereas expired film from 2018 showed no degradation in color or contrast, the 2013 packs produced clearly desaturated pictures, close to monochrome and some reduced contrast. Got no issues with spreading the chemicals though, each frame from the 2013 packs was fully visible. So there seems to be a limit on how far beyond shelf life you can go with Instax.
Compared to expired Polaroid film, Instax degrades significantly less. Perhaps this has sth. to do with the construction of the frames - the chemical pods in Instax are sealed plastic foil, on Polaroid its some kind of reinforced paper (more prone to drying out and other effects, especially on open packs).
Interesting!! That’s good info thank you for sharing maybe I will do a follow up video on expired film
@@JustAnotherChris Keep up the good work. I really like the images you got from your Instax, shows that even with cameras as basic as the Instax 200/210, it just depends on the photographer to make it happen. (still staring instensely at Fuji - now give us a Instax Wide camera with better lens and manual control...)
Thank you much appreciated! I try my best. I’m going to be doing a video on that camera as well. AND I agree come on Fuji get with the program!
Thanks for documenting this! I just forgot to use mine lol. Now excited to try my 1year expired instax film...and make some art!
Definitely go shoot something!
Thanks, mate! I've just discovered that films expire. I have one that expired a year ago, so if your experiment was with a film from 2017 mine should work properly. Thanks a lot!
Nice video, man! I was afraid about using expired films, and now I'm less worried kk thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Omg those photos actually look unreal!😯 that's mad but I am so glad because I don't need to stress about using all of my film before it expires Lol. I used to take polaroid 600 photos and all 8 packs of film I tried to use and weren't anywhere near expiring turned out so bad you couldn't even see what's in the photos, grainy and soo faded and had scratches and those marks in the corners😫 If polaroid film was as consistent and reliable as fujifilm, I'd go back to polaroid in a heartbeat 🥺 maybe i just didn't store them correctly although i only had them for less than a week lol
I know right?!? So wild. As for polaroid you can get some amazing photos with them BUT you have to be experienced with your camera and make sure your story properly. For the best results buy film directly from Polaroid OR from a camera store they usually have all their film cold storage. I’m going to be doing a video on that soon
I'm new to instant photography and bought a instax 210 wide because of you! Thank you! Dont regret it one bit :) i have only shot a few pictures but am going to buy 80 wide film for $45 that expired in 2018.. not sure if it's a good idea 😶
Right on! Glad I could help. Hmm you should be good on those. I have shot stuff from 2017 recently and it still worked
@@JustAnotherChris ok thank you! 😊
Thanks man! You're doing very good quality content, worth far more views! Cheers!
Thank you!! I’m glad you liked it!! I got lots more on the way!
🤫 Expired instax ages like fine wine.
It really does!
So damn cute. I love Instax Wide film, and it's so reliable. I wish the monochrome was as cheap as the color.
Yeah that would be great!
@@JustAnotherChris And more Wide camera models lol
That would be even better!!
www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1371475-REG/fujifilm_16564101_instax_wide_monochrome_ww.html They're expired on sale! get it!
love this vid thanks!!
Glad you found it helpful!
I have 1 pack of Instax Wide film expired in 2004. I got it with the camera which i bought on e-bay in Japan. One part of me says "shoot this pack", another one says "don't do that, it'll damage the camera"(
Hmmm 2004 i dont know if it’s sealed I think you would be alright
It will not damage the camera but you won't get photos! See my other comment above
Yooo I am soo gonna buy my Instax Square film expired from now on considering it's pretty expensive here!
Hi Chris, just came across your channel. I'm an old school film photographer that is just getting into Instax purely for fun! I wanted to ask you about storage. I have 2 boxes of instax film, and plan on stockpiling more. I put the unopened boxes in a large ziplock bag, then put the bag in the refrigerator. Wanted to know if this is appropriate? Use will be infrequent. I have read to let film get to room temp approx 12hrs before shooting. Let me know your thoughts on the ziplok bag fridge storage method. thanks
Refrigerating will always yield the best results. Are usually just wait an hour or two before shooting after refrigerating
One very important question answered perfectly! Thanks :)
What is the proper way to store film?
I usually have my film in the fridge and now I’m scared I’m doing it wrong. Haha
In the fridge is perfect!
How do you think about 15 years expired film? 😄 I saw an auction and thinking about buying them
That would be an interesting experiment!
When I bought my instax 200 at a thrift shop in 2020, it actually still had film from 2004 inside. I couldn't get photos from that, just some cool pink / azure colourscape, and oh, it really did smell like chemicals.
@@fabioskji How do you know that film was from 2004?
How do you get such nice pics from that horrible camera? I have an instax wide camera and it's horrible!
Well you are in luck!! Just today I released this teaching people how I do it. cre8academy.thinkific.com/courses/master-the-art-of-instant-photography
Hey, which camera are you using?
I used the Fujifilm wide 200 and I think the lomography wide
hello! do you think expired in 2013 would work?
Hmm only one way to find out!
Report back if you tried.
Hey Chris, I have a really old instax 100 wide and everytime it takes a picture part of the film reveals with a white stain.
I’m curious about what could be causing this.
How old is the film?
@@JustAnotherChris the film is new.
@rogerioportugal1338 haven’t heard of that before
Instax ages tenfold better than polaroid, it kinda break a rule oddly of how expired film ages, usually higher iso, the worst/quicker it ages
Instax is set 800 iso
600/I-type/Go is 640
The sx70 is 100 ISO
SX70 film is 160
Correct, haven’t used sx70 in a few years (2018), still got 4 sx70 (one model 2, two classic metal frame OGs and one 690) 3 needing too be sent in repaired but cost ofcourse keeping me from that
But that is the gamble of buying nearly half a century old cameras online
(If only polaroid made a new camera in that make/style)
Hi Chris! thank you for this video I was really scared of loosing the film packages. But I'm still worried about the camera, using expired films can damage it?
Hmm it depends I guess. I haven’t t had any issues as of yet.
There is no chance that it could damage your camera
I use to get lots of expired polaroid film at Ritz camera, now I get it on eBay!!!!!!!!!!!
thanks for the video, i'm trying to print my expired instax films with the instax share sp-2. wish me luck!
Shouldn’t be a problem!
@@JustAnotherChris I found out that some of them came out completely blank or badly desaturated. It was only a year ago that they were expired. I'm kinda sad :^)
Oh no! Well that’s a bummer
@@JustAnotherChris yeah, but no worries I still got a lot of pretty results as well :)
Well that’s good to hear!!
Hi Chris thanks for the video! I have a question… do Polaroid cameras have an expiration time? How long does the camera itself last? I’m interested in the fujifilm liplay
Hmm not exactly just depends on a lot of factors like how you take care of it. I’m still using a camera from the 70s
@@JustAnotherChris hi chris, thanks again for replying to my questions! in an instax FB group someone just wrote that the sound option on the liplay is only for a year, have you noticed something like that?
Why has mine gone expired exact same time
I guess it’s from the same batch
My friend gave me instax film that expired and I would love to see if you can try it. It expired in 2015 and we are in 2022 and she had a case with 200 film in total and I would love to send you one. Is the instax wide. I would try it but I don’t have the wide Instax camera, I was going to buy it but I’m scared that the film doesn’t work. She gave me the case because I’m getting married and I want to use instax camera as my sign in book. Again I would love if you could try the expired film.
She storage the box in her closet
Well thank you!! I would love to test it out! And congratulations on your wedding!! You can send it here :
