8-10 year old color 16mm

[Nik Nerburn]

I am thinking about buying some 8-10 year old color reversal 16mm 7250 kodak film. It has been kept in a cooler, but I don't know if that helps. It's super cheap and I'd like to know if it'd be safe to shoot on. Thanks

I would ask to buy 35 feet and shoot and get it developed. If it's good enough then buy. Chances are good though that it'll probably be really washed out.

Are you a student? You can get 400ft of 7285 Color Reversal from Kodak for $99.34. I would go that route.

also from what i have heard when shooting with old film like that it is a good idea to rate your ISO lower than what it says on the can 100 ASA -> to 50

Jmega is correct, although the ASA may be the same on the can you will get a much darker image with an old stock like that.
