Found a roll of Kodachrome Color Reversal (no idea how you could develop it) + a roll of Ektachrome Elite 100. May have more? Also 4x5 sheet film, if interested??

I will load and shoot it. Most expired film is still ok.

I never understood this mindset.
"I'll get a roll of mystery film, load it into my camera, spend my time and effort trying to shoot good images, spend my time and effort and money developing the film, and then after that, I get to find out if anything actually was captured on the film."

Film just isn't that expensive if you do your homework; buy bulk and load your own, or shoot inexpensive film, or whatever.

Buying cheap color film that isn't expired is about $2.00 per roll. (or less if you look around) Cheap black and white comes to about the same or maybe a bit less if you roll your own from bulk.

For myself, I'd rather buy good film in bulk and then take my time shooting so that I come away with 36 potential keepers that I can print rather than saving $1.00 in getting expired film and then wasting 50 cents worth of developer just to find out that whatever I got wasn't worth printing after all.

You sir, are a closed minded person who wants to control everyone around you. You have no idea what I'm doing as is evidenced by each and every supposition in your worthless diatribe. You do what you want to do and I'll do what I want to do. By the way, I'm sure you have some practices which I would think are utterly nonsensical such as this post you just did. But if that's what puts meaning into your pathetic life, knock yourself out.

Your entire post was an insult. It's none of your business what I do with expired film. I don't need to seek your approval for anything.

I've heard shooters like the diluted colors. Don't know.

You can have a lot of experimental fun with expired film. If you’re just someone who is taking snapshots or doing commercial photography then obviously expired film is not the way to go.

I didn't call you a name. I didn't call into question your character, nor did I say that you needed my approval. I simply stated why it didn't make sense to me...and then I asked you why you were doing it.

If you can't tell the difference then I guess I'll leave this particular thread.

You can't leave it soon enough. You've pretty much polluted it already.
