Colour Print Film - Expired???

If I just have the cannisters and not the original box.......is there a way
to determine the date of the film????

Yes you can contact the manufacturor of the film and using the bar code
on the canister or the roll of film ask when the batch was ran. It
will give you an accurate date of production. You might keep in mind
color film under two years old is considered green film and will have a
greenish blue cast. Film that is refrigerated should be good for about
five years.
