Last summer, I was given several rolls of film, including two unmarked rolls that had been home loaded. The film had come from unknown origins. Not having a clue what this mystery bulk film was, I decided to load it in the Sprocket Rocket, my little light pig. After shooting the film, I realized that my SR thinks 400 iso is a SLOW film, so I doubled it. Now came the moment of truth - how to develop it. I really couldn't decide if this was black and white or perhaps slide film, so I used a Blazinal stand process, 1+100 for 75 minutes. The results are interesting. I was at least able to ascertain that the film was Fujichrome CDU type II, which is a tungsten balanced duplicating film with an iso rating somewhere between 12 and 20.
Do you buy your expired film, or is it given to you. Every so often if I see a roll of film at a friend's or relative's house, I ask for it and receive it for my use.
Most is given to me. I have a couple of friends who do a lot of garage sales and they are always on the lookout for film for me. And sometimes my favorite camera store has some interesting film on consignment which I buy!
