Hey,
A friend of mine has the following 8x10 film.
Kodak Vericolor (VPS-4106 from 9/95, unopened!)
Kodak Ektachrome 100 (EPP-6105 from 11/94, unopened!)
Kodak Ektachrome 200 (from 5/93, opened and cut to 7x10 for my suitcase camera, not sure how many sheets)
50 sheet box Fuji RFP 50 daylight from 12/94 (opened but feels mostly full, plus another opened box that has 4 sheets left?)
plus 10 boxes of 11x14 RTP-64 trans. film from 1998...
It's apparently been frozen the entire time except for a week or so after the 1994 Northridge Earthquake. I'm thinking about purchasing it and cutting it down to 5x7 (since 50 sheets of kodak is now $360). I know that there will be some color shift and that I won't know how much unless I test it. I'm ok with some -- it'll be scanned so I'll have the benefit of PS to fix it -- but I don't want enter a black-hole-time-suck.
Thoughts on using this film?
