    haven't watched till the end so if what im about to say was talked about in the video, I'm sorry, I'm just excited to share lol! The old canisters that Hp3 and 4 (the old fp4 also had them, most older film used to have it as a matter of fact) had reusable film canisters, the metal rings were sturdier so you could just snap them off and re-use them when bulk loading! so don't throw away the cans after you shot them, keep them and re-load new film in them! they are usually better than the plastic ones we have today!

    Looking forward to more good video from you guys. BTW, the original HP only had an ASA of 160, not 400. So yeah, 160 was quite the achievement in the day.

    Stopped by a couple of years back shortly after Terry's passing. It's awesome to see that the shop is still kicking and even has an online presence now. Can't wait to see what's in store, and it's great to know that Terry's legacy is living on.

    I have lots of SUPERpanchromatic film, that is, sensitive to not only visible light, but also IR and UV light! Unfortunately most lenses don’t let UV light pass through, but IR is super fun to shoot with. I actually roll my own 120/220 film from it, so that’s really cool.

    Conventional grain films are actually super shelf stable. It's the new T grain films that seem to go bad quick. I have a few dozen rolls of Ilford Delta 400 and 100 that I shot several years ago and are only developing now. Most of them are super fogged but all the HP5s shot in the same period are still good as new.

    For your next video it would be great to tell the difference between the expired versions and the current ones. Like how is HP4 different to HP5 and why was it replaced?

    Wow. You have a good eye! Great photos. One small criticism just show those wonderful photos a few seconds longer. Calms down the video and fits the mood and the cuts stop feeling hectic and your viewers don´t need to pause for every pic you show. But maybe I ´m just just a slow viewer :D. Nonetheless you have a new subscriber :D

    I would like to add, if your shooting old color films, they will always look way better as B&W. Develop and fix in b&w chemistry (I use caffenol-cl) then at the end do a 5-minute soak in c41 blix. This clears the brown tint off the film and makes a nice creamy b&w shot.

    Great photo shots. Question though, I heard that expired BW film should be stopped down 1 for every 20 years of expired. not sure if thats right.

    I love shooting expired film. With standard negative film (color or b&w) I over expose by a stop per decade like you did, but with slide/positive or “reversal” film, I’ve had much better results by NOT over exposing.. just shooting at the original box speed (ok, or maybe just a stop or so over). Have you any thoughts on shooting expired slide film? Thanks!

    Man, for being over 50 years old, that film handled beautifully, I have seen far worse fog from film expired in the early 2000s. I'm curious about the rest of the films.

    How about the Ilford HP5 with seventy two exposures? HP5 135 - 72 exp. Get the correct insert for your dev tank.

    HP wasn't 400 ASA but actually 160. 400 ASA was introduced in the 1950's.

    I ended up going with stock D-76 at 12 minutes. Only rating it at 50 ISO in camera to give it more light in camera. - Matt

    Great results from such old film. I think only Ektachrome films aren't worth the effort, because they are probably E-4 process as of expiration date of 1972, so results will be absolute crap. So these films are more display purpose items.

    Wait just wait a second. Just hold on here! You could not meter at 12ISO? WOW. I am guessing you have never heard of the Canon T70. You know the one that take the same lenses as an AE1. But a little more quirky A T70 WILL METER AT 12ISO. I have said my piece I will watch the rest of the video now 😅
