D3200 - Longevity beyond expiry/process by date?
There's someone on e-bay selling 6 rolls of D3200. I have bought one dated Dec 2009 so no problem there. However the others are expiry dates of Mar 2006 and Nov 2006. So three years and 2.5 years out of date respectively.
It's a Buy It Now or Make an Offer sale. It's a make an offer as far as I am concerned. His BIN is too high in relation to its age.What chance that the outdated stuff will still be useable and will using at EI 1600 max make any difference? Let's assume that the film has only been stored at room temp. If it had been D400 or HP5/FP4 I'd be less worried but its my assumption that well outdated ultra fast film is much more risky Is it worth a punt? Thanks Mike |

I bought some D3200 that was a year out of date and used it over a couple of years, in fact I still have one roll. Shot at EI 800 and dev'd at EI 1000 in DDX, it worked out fine for some pics ...
It's no Pan F, of course.
