well there's still a lot more replies here, so I'll include some extra info

 

the lab I go to will develop without prints (and it's a good price too, just $5 to develop C-41, and they'll even do scans for an extra $2) so I'm not too concerned in terms of pricing. Though I do get the overall message of being "don't expect good results" which I won't if I end up shooting it. I've even gone and looked up what I could expect and I have seen the "bad" results, but all I can say is, could be interesting still.

Welcome.

 

 

 

That's funny - "love shooting film" and your handle is: "cpufreak101"

 

Love your humour.

yeah haha, the name is a lot, LOT older than when I discovered film (I made it around 2011, I'm only going on 19, I grew up the digital way) so it's just kinda stuck since I've used it for so long haha

Welcome. It's always good to see another film shooter!

yeah, if it weren't for the fact i was given my first camera free I would have never thought to try it, now I honestly love it! I am young enough to have grown up without ever shooting film though, so I'm learning as I go haha

thanks for the replies guys. yeah I did find it free so if I did shoot it i'd only have to pay development costs. needless to say Curiosity might push me to try it simply because of that though (local film lab gives rather good results at a good price)

I believe the first camera I ever bought is my Argus C-20 which I found at a yard sale when I was 6 or 7. it was only $2 and I remember buying it purely out of curiosity of what the thing was lol. it sat in storage unused for many years but I recently pulled it back out. still works great.

So in a camera box, I had found a still sealed in the box roll of Kodacolor II 35mm film. even though it's sealed, it expired in 1982 and wasn't stored in the best conditions when I found it (warm attic). based on my research it uses the C-41 process so it should be developable, but I am worried if the film would be unusable due to age and storage conditions. anyone have experience with older film like this that can give tips?

Hello, my name is Justin, but I'm more commonly known online as cpufreak101. I'm an amateur that's just getting into photography thanks to having inherited a Canon AE-1 Program. so far I've been enjoying shooting film and hope to share my experiences with others here!
