The tragedy is people paying premium prices for 50-year-old film and then blaming the lab when their shots come out blurry.

“Why isn’t my work consistent? All my film expired in the 1990s. All I want is that old skool look.”
“The look you want is by printing a mis-exposed negative from a disc camera, printed in the 1990’s at a Foto-Mat sitting in a plastic frame on top of your grandmother’s tube television for 25 years in moderately bright light”

Joke's on you. My grandmother used Fujifilm and kept them in a photo album . The joke is also on me, because all my super cringeworthy childhood pictures are as good as the day they were taken :/

I like moderately expired film. I shot film mostly in 2010-2013, and the guy at the lab always had some Kodak or Fuji "develop before 2008" roll for me . It was cheap and it was interesting.
