Ok for my next thread to get the juices flowing in the group:
I have been surfing eBay and see all sorts of outdated film at "bargain"
prices. What is the consensus of the group. How old can you go with slide
film? Any difference in brand, ie. Kodak vs. Fuji? If film has been frozen
does that improve it's life span vs. just refrigeration (non frozen).

I just used some film that was out of date a couple of years and got
good results. It has been refrigerated since I bought it. It was
fresh when purchased. It was Fuji. I think that consensus is that
frozen film will last longer.
I think storage is all important. I would hesitate to buy old film
unless I was pretty confident that it was not in a hot warehouse for
a couple of years.
