<p>I am guessing that has to do with using slides in projectors? Because you're projecting the slides on a white canvas, you don't need any whites on the slide itself? <br> Everybody thanks for the answers by the way!</p>

<p>I am intrigued that super overexposed or fogged slide film comes out so crystal clear then, I would have expected to at least see something or just totally white squares, not see through. <br> Why shoot 34 year old film? For fun of course. I bought a whole bunch of different expired film online for around 15 bucks. It was 20 rolls in total and not all of it was expired that long. Was kept refrigerated, but not frozen. </p>

<p>Yes I have send it to a lab which also did all my b&w until now without any problems. The person at the counter saw it needed e-6, and I told him as well slide film. It also said so on the cannister. Plus it was colour so worst case scenario they did it in c41 which would have still yielded a result right? </p>

<p>From what I read on similar topics here, and on other forums, no edge printing means wrong processing. Does this also go for slide film (most of the topics were people home processing b&w)? </p>

<p>It's entirely clear, no printing on the edge at all. Almost like it's a piece of plastic or 'gimmick film'. Can look straight through it. It said proces E-6 on the film cannister. <br /> Held it up to a lamp, couldn't see any edge printing on either side (hard to tell what side is which anyways). My dad has a light table thingy (sorry, not a native English speaker) for viewing slides. Will probably bring it this weekend to check it out with a magnifier as well.<br /> Just trying to figure out what went wrong and if I should go back to the lab or not. They don't proces E-6 themselves (first time e-6 at this lab, black & white they send out to the same people and that always came back good) and I think they will probably blame it on being a 34 year expired film.</p> <p>Already thanks a lot for the answers! I didn't shoot any important stuff, just my first time shooting slides and expired film, so just bummed out that I have no funky results for my instagram ;). </p>

<p>Dear all,<br> I bought a bunch of expired film online recently. Among it were three rolls of Kodak Ektachrome (slide film). The first roll (ISO 64) I recently shot with my camera and brought to the lab to get it developed. When I came home my negatives were compeltely blank. Not even the small numbers and letters on it, that tell you what kind of film it is. All completely blank.<br> At first I even shot two sets where I under- and overexposed by 3 stops (so 7 total stops) to see if there was any shift in ISO since this film had been expired for 34 years. Any suggestions on what might have happened?<br />I always get my film developed at this lab (never had any issues) and also shot multiple roles with this camera. <br> Kind regards,<br> Robbert</p>
