How much film?


Instax

I seem to have built up a supply of analogue film. I recently bought a Instax Square to go with the wide and mini cameras, along with 40 shots for the square and 30 for the mini, luckily these have a fairly long expiry date so I wouldn't have to shoot though it all yet.

As for 35mm film; I have been gifted 5 rolls of the stuff and it all ranges from Kodak Gold 200 to Colorama 200. The Colorama is the free film's, you use to get back from the chemist when you'd had a roll developed by them.

The rolls range in date from 2007 to 2010, so pretty well expired, it with be interesting to see what results come back once they are processed.  I have already started shooting with the 1st roll for 2007, which I shot on a film photowalk, yesterday in North London.

5 rolls of expired 35mm film
Although the film is rated at ISO200, I have been told its best to shoot it at ISO100, so that does mean that brighter days will be better.

If the results come back OK-ish, I do have a possible project to use the remaining 4 rolls on.
