It didn't take me long to value getting the best possible film. Usually from a walk in fridge in a pro camera store. Plenty of cheaper ways to get it. Not my interest. Too many shots coming out funny and the likely suspect was the film in my earlier years. You want to remove as many fuzzy variables as you can from the equation. The way my mind works is I'm not going to lift my figure to do a shoot if I think I've already shot myself in the foot before I even walk out the door with some half assed gear. And film is your most critical piece of gear. Its gear food. -- Mark R. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/ > From: Max Herrgard <herrgard at gmail.com> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Thu, 10 Nov 2011 22:04:44 +0100 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: [Leica] Expired 400 bw film > > Hey. > > I'm thinking of buying some expired Ilford Delta 400.
