Question on Outdated B&W Film
I just found 2 rolls of Forte Fortepan 400 B&W print film I had ordered
from B&H in 2004. They are dated as expiring in July 2005. Does anyone have any ideas on whether it still would make decent prints, or should I forget about it? Thanks |

Supplement from original poster - I should add that the film has been
stored at room temperature since I received it. |

Thanks For casual use, unless the film has been subject to very high heat or some sorce of X-rays, to should be pretty good...maybe a little elevated fog level, but generally OK It might not meet expectations for critical commercial or scientific use. If you had more than two rolls I'd say shoot one for a test, but with only two you might as well use them for uncritical shooting. |
