@Gargron Actually digging out an old camera today for kicks- have 10 year expired film. I’m clueless about it all.
From what I’ve gathered, I should tell the camera that the iso is lower than what’s on the box ? So if that is says 400 I should tell the camera it’s 200? Is that how you go about making sure it’s over-exposed? Thanks!

@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 Thanks! Getting an opportunity to photograph permanently disabled raptor ambassadors today. Seems like a perfect opportunity to try the old camera out.
