I used a roll of very expired Delta3200, in the Zero. We're talking 14 years beyond the use by date. Not only that, I can't say I've stored the film with any particular consideration.
Here's a weird thing to think about...my life was considerably different when I bought this film. I was living in California, my kids were still at home, my marriage was intact. At that time I was really getting into pinhole and toy camera work. Flickr was still relatively new, exciting and enthusiastic (despite the purchase by Yahoo a couple years earlier). There was no pandemic and the Bush Whitehouse was on its last leg.
And here I am over a decade later, across the country, living on my own, carving out this phase of my life in fits and starts. But the film still works and I have a set of negatives to prove it!
