Sometimes you can find deals for almost expired film at the big box stores. Discounts for Fuji sometimes can net about a little over $6 a roll. Bought a random P&S in a quaint European shop with Portra 400, and after the results I dusted off my old film cameras when I came home. Some guy sold an old EOS with 11 rolls of film for $20 on FB market. Obviously I rushed to get it. I agree it's expensive but if you have the time you can find people who agree it's costly and just want to offload equipment/rolls.
oh boy, that is the frustration from expired film lol, ok, first of all, great video, having such a more personal look on how expired film can actually impact and not always look good is incredibly important to understand imo, but ok, i don't want to be the scientist, there is a TON of variables on expired film that can change and make it completely unusable, the only tip i can suggest, is never stick to the film speed, overexpose at least of 1 full stop, the photo shown seems not really overexposed but underexposed, the grain was super visible and that happens usually when you crank up the exposure in the scanner or digitizer, either way, expired film can be fun, but it's good to shoot with it with barely any expectation, i shoot some color and some b&w film both expired just for fun, when i am not planning to take incredible shots, that i know i NEED them to be reliable
plus trying out the new camera mostly if it's a more digital one like the one you took, oh man, i have a similar style camera, it's a nikon F801, in short, it's a mess, for me used to mechanical cameras where they all work the same in short, that was an interesting learning curve, keep yourself up tho, learn the camera, i'm sure it's capable of taking really good photos, and don't get frustrated on having problems with film, be mindful when you will choose if shooting expired or fresh film that's all
There is so much room for error with film- thankfully we have digital now
Gives the photos a bit of character tbh
The photos look vintage
To me they just looked under... not over exposed. This is why I do not care to bother with expired film. If it is a picture I would like to have... use good film.
Curious what got you shooting analog 0:45
