Film

Does anyone know what I can do with approximately 50 rolls of film I've had refrigerated (not frozen) since the early 2000's? The expiration dates are somewhere around 2006, 2008, 2012. They are mostly Kodak Tri-X 400, Fuji Reala 100, & Fujicolor Pro 160 professional film.

You could shoot them? Or try eBay. Some people buy that sort of film at reduced prices. When I sold film, out-of-date film was always half price and people bought it. Often it works just fine, especially if refrigerated. The Tri-x is the best bet, as color deteriorates faster (and more). The b/w may lose some speed, easily adjusted in processing. If the color film has deteriorated (bad color, grainy), it could still be used for making b/w prints maybe, or special effects prints.

I know I'm probably late, but do you have any of this left??

I too will be more than happy to take that batch of films off your hands.

Was actually going to throw them out, thought someone might be able to use them, looking for good ideas not some pompeous ass to respond who actually has nothing better to do with his time.

rmalarz gave you the best advice - list them in the UHH classified section. And be sure to state the size! Since it has been refrigerated even the color film should be good - I just processed 2 rolls of 120 Agfachrome 50-RS that had been refrigerated at 38° since 1989 (expired 02/90).Still have over 70 rolls left to shoot this year.
