I notice on old film the edges, supposed to be clear, have a grey tinge. I understand that it may be cosmic rays which are everywhere on our planet. Some have said it’s something called muons.
When I use new film the edges are very clear compared to the old stuff. Might I mention this is with black and white film.
At any rate here is some reading material from NASA.

I am not Pro, I am Hobbyist
I also use the 'worthless' X-Ray film
Many here kept yelling at me to never use it
there is a ditty, I just recalled
"People talking to me trying to tell me how to live!
I don't listen to them as my head is like a sieve..."

Ever seen or used Fujifilm Prescale Film
Re: Practical or foolish risk? Using untested expired film (refrigerated) for a shoot
Used to drive by MTS each day when going to work back in the ‘70’s. I lived with my parents a short while after getting out of the Navy to save money for a down payment on a town house.
Have Fuji black and white film mainly 120 Acros. It’s getting old just like me!

I liked how MPLS had Sin city, Punk, big music venues all in the same place
One stop shopping
I preferred Loring Park 25 years ago
The restaurant was all smashed up on purpose to be arty
Mother lived in Loring Park before marriage
Then LA to be a 'Rosy the Riveter' living a tiny Teardrop
Father caught a mortar and never saw the enemy
He survived, in hospital for 1 year
Life was hard, I bet we get worse

George Hurell used a ton of expired film ... and his work is legendary.
Re: Practical or foolish risk? Using untested expired film (refrigerated) for a shoot
I made my way through both a junior college and university program using recently and semi-recently-expired film.
When you're broke as a joke, you save where you can.
I still use outdated film, but mostly because it has been discontinued... and besides, I gotta save money to support my SK Grimes habit. :)
Re: Practical or foolish risk? Using untested expired film (refrigerated) for a shoot
whats broke as a joke mean ?
it was a joke that you were using expired or short date film ?
hurell's work was no joke ...
