Hi,

I got pretty good deal for the expired Fuji Superia X-Tra 400 (it came up for about £0.50 per 36 exposure roll), but before buying greater amount of negatives I got three-pack for testing. I pretty much loved the outcome. Negatives are expired exactly 5 years (as expiry date is 2009.0Cool and I rated it at ISO200, but despite loosing 1/2-1EV of sensitivity to light nothing changed.
The grain is the same, colours are the same, sharpness is the same, well it's just transformed to Fuji Superia X-Tra 200 Wink.

After a little bit of advice from 'pentaxpete' I bought 60 rolls and I decided to put them in the freezer so they could last longer.

Here are a few samples taken with Olympus OM2 Spot/Program body.
Lenses #1-4 Vivitar Series 1 28-90mm/2.8-3.5
#5-7 Olympus Zuiko 50mm/1.8

Thank you Moira and Olivier Smile.

#2 photo I took using spot metering of OM2SP which gave 1/30th when pointed at the centre of the wheel and the #3 was taken using full auto (with -1EV compensation applied) and the exposure took something around 60-100 seconds.
Shooting at night with Olympus OTF exposure metering is really easy Smile.

I'm little worried about the "Colour Film Gallery" section of the forum as since I come back to shooting film, this part of the forum seems to be forgotten ;D and I would love to see more posts from other users.
