Gregory's ServerFuji Superia X-tra 400 is very pretty one stop overexposed. Much better than at box speed, to my eye. Too bad it's discontinued, I have just a few rolls left 😔 At least it's a more than zero.

@Gargron Actually digging out an old camera today for kicks- have 10 year expired film. I’m clueless about it all. @NoCoNurse Correct. Rule of thumb is to halve the ISO for every decade past expiration, but a lot depends on how the film was stored. If it was in the freezer it’s probably good as new. If it was in the heat or moisture for 10 years you should lower your expectations.  |
@Gargron My personal experience is that the "cheap" consumer film stocks (Colorplus, Gold, Max, X-TRA, Superia, etc.) look really lovely exposed a stop over, and a lot less so a stop under.
And given how many of these films were loaded into cheap/disposable lenses with slow lenses, it's little wonder that they've developed a reputation for being muddy and low-quality.
They just need a chance and a bit more light to shine!
