Kodak HD 400 Expired

An expired 400-speed Kodak color film. Past-date film like this drifts toward color shifts and softer contrast. It was marketed for ultra-fine grain and great color reproduction.

How it behaves

This roll is expired, so overexpose a stop or two to fight the fog that builds with age. Results vary roll to roll, which is half the fun. As a starting point, about one stop per decade past expiry, and expect faded contrast, increased grain, and color shifts.
