 Subject: Outdated ektachrome???
 
 I'm trying to decide if it's even worth shooting this stuff.  I've got 
 several rolls of 120 size Ektachrome dated 1999.  It's all e6 
 professional and it's been kept refrigerated.  Anybody have any 
 experience shooting film this old, what the age effects are, how much, 
 (percentage since the initial speed ratings are all different) to 
 compensate for lost sensitivity, that sort of thing.  Any suggestions 
 would be appreciated.

I've shot stuff about as old as this that had an unknown to me history. 
Although I'm sure there would be some differences to fresh film, I could not 
see anything that made me want to check it against new film.

If it's been refrigerated, It's probably good. I've shot some very old 
ektachrome with good results.

Same here.  If it's been refrigerated it should still be good for  
quite a while.
