    For years, I shot mostly Ektachrome. But, that was in the 70s and 80s so..... right now I have an expired roll of.... something made by Kodak in my Canon EOS Elan 7 ne. It may take me a year to get through it... who knows. If i remember to, when I manage to shoot it up, I'll check back in and let you know what happened with it. Don't develop high expectations for this.

    Maaan, seeing all that expired film... I admire your youthful energy! I used to shoot a ton of these almost a decade ago, cross processing the living heck out of them (btw try that with your expired slides, it gives it bit more density) but scanning them was always such pain. One or two shots from every roll were a killer but last few rolls I actually gave away and paid for the shipping to get that expired analog heroin out of my fridge and out of my life for good! It's hard to kicking the habit, stay strong! :D

    Gad, that was so good. I might have to watch it 73,000 more times. Great, chill video wrapped around the stills you shot. I agree that the blue Ferris wheel in the fog is about the best of what you created on this outing. You went to some really nice places, got a lot of good images where the film performed, and had a rewarding time with friends and family. What more could one ask for?
    As for the expired film bit...how many times is that experiment going to be repeated? Are folks trying to prove a connection between the chemical medium and zombies? "They're dead, but they still live enough to function." Perhaps you should treat film like cream cheese; when it is way past its date treat it like the shart candle and keep your distance.
    Anyway, I got my fix and can stumble along to your next release. Thanks for beaming into my computer.

    EPN** is for color reproduction (catalog work). EPP is for portraits/fashion. Color reproduction was still accurate but had a different spectral response and saturation boost. Also crossed nicely and was a very popular look end of 90's/ early 2k! Who processed this film? There's some problems with your first bath. If you don't want to do it at home, i recommend AGX Imaging if you need transparency development. No better out there :)

    Fresh EPP 100 became my go to film, even before the demise of Kodachrome. The colors were so vibrant, had great latitude, shot so much, ended up buying it in 100ft rolls, rolling and processing it myself. Was not happy when they discontinued it. Wish it would come back. (The dated EPP here does NOT do it justice.)

  • @boondoc001

    Old Ektachrome is like playing Russian roulette with 3 rounds loaded. I have had the exact same results as you to where I just experiment with the film just to get it out of my inventory. Apparently cross processing with c41 chems will yield better results, that's what I'm going to try next. For anyone reading this if you're going to shoot expired slides look more into Fuji's offerings, I get much better results consistently than I do with Ektachrome.
