For an actual question, when you're finished with the big bag of expired film are you going to keep over exposing a bit with fresh film? The images from films that should be considered junk have been great but that bag is going to run out eventually.
Depending on the film, I've been overexposing a lot. The only one that only needed one stop was the Kodak Supra 100. It looked fantastic at 50 - better than many modern fresh colour films. Apparently age and poor storage was the thing for that emulsion.
Unfortunately it is all gone now. Edit Monday March 4 - found two more rolls of Supra!
There's still a cr@p tonne of B&W left, and I haven't even started on the assortment of 120/220! some of which is colour.

If it’s an annual rain dance held by the Joyous Redheaded Grandmas chapter, then that would be pretty normal. 
Apparently it was a promotional event for a Threes Company re-boot. Or we all are hallucinating.

Gorgeous! We did a lot of hiking in the Gold Country. Really miss that - SoCal has nothing close.
Where were you?

@madNbad for my fresh film I just shoot at box speed unless it is something like the fake 3200 iso films.
However if I use a camera like the mighty Reto UltraWide n Slim, or Kodak H35 where they only have one fixed exposure setting, I’ll use whatever roll of 200 or 400 film and let the Gods of Emulsion deal with it.

Anyone have any history with the Catlabs 320 Pro film? I have a hunch I’ll have to use another developer to get more acceptable results…that’s if I even pick up another roll (as that was my only one).When I shot catlabs 320 I have to expose it as an ISO 160 film to get good results. No issues w df96 Monobath, the problem is them calling it a 320 film.Thank you Huss! I guess I should have not shot it on my Samsung AF Slim Zoom then, as it read the DX code and set the ISO to 320…with no way to override it without taping over the code or something. 
You can hack the DX code using the scrape and tape method as mentioned here and as discussed in detail on these webpages (also mentioned in the above post). It's not hard. I did it and it took about 5 minutes, scraping included! ;-)

https://flynngraphics.ca/dx-codes/Thank you! I’ll have to make use of that technique when shooting with my point & shoot. Especially so when certain films perform better at another ISO other than what the box says. 
This place sells premade DX code stickers that you can use on your film canisters if that also helps. They have a variety of speeds to choose from. I haven't used them but I'll probably buy some because I want to bulk load some film soon.

Amazon also has some but they are twice as expensive, but have more ISO's covered.

I just finished developing two more rolls from my Samsung AF Slim Zoom. A roll of TriX400 and Catlabs 320 Pro, both shot at box speed and using the Cinestill DF96 monobath. Both rolls were shot back to back in the same light, however, the Catlabs negatives are super thin! The TriX400 looks super healthy. The negatives are both hang drying in my bathroom right now, but I’m already thinking that I’m going to have to work some magic during scanning and post in order to get those Catlabs shots to somewhere decent.Anyone have any history with the Catlabs 320 Pro film?

Picked up another P&S yesterday at an antique store, the Canon AF35 ML. First roll was mostly to see if there are any light leaks and there are none. The camera tends to under expose but clean up nicely in post. It only goes to ISO 400 and while it has a 40mm f/1.9, there are no controls to shoot wide open or stopped down.

Nice! I have a Konica C35 EF3 that underexposes by about a stop - I just set the ISO one stop extra to compensate eg 200 for 400 film. That camera uses AA batteries, so it is not a battery/voltage compatibility issue. I think meter cells just age...

Looks like it takes nice, very sharp photos. Good find!

Thanks. Things sharpen up nicely from post processing. I'm using a very simple process utilizing LR plugins. My lab develops (color only) sends me 6MB scans. I import into LR Classic and mark the keepers. I send the keepers through Topaz Photo AI and have the plugin process all images with Auto Sharpen (lens blur), Auto denoise and Upscale by 2X. This gives me 24MB TIFF files which I then send through a plugin called Radiant Photo. While it has a lot of settings and presets to play with, I simply take their defaults which is kind of like hitting the auto expose button in LR but this is so much better. This results in images that are closer to proper exposure, color balance and more.
I thought I'd highlight my process because I find it simple and only takes computer processing time to get through the roll. It also means I don't have to worry about getting the negatives and do my own scanning.
