A couple of shots from the roll of 2003 dated Ektachrome E100S that @Sectionate kindly sent me recently. I have two rolls, so the first was essentially a test to see how it fared. Although the Holga doesn't allow much in the way of controlling how I take a photograph, it has the benefit of being able to carry off the results even if they're not perfect.
Anyway, as the film is 16 years out of date, I applied some Sunny 16 calculations:
Film ASA = 100
Holga shutter speed = 1/100s
Autumn UK sunshine = Sunny f/11
Holga cloudy setting = f/8
This all basically meant, that I was overexposing the film by 1 stop. The results are not bad considering the age of the film. The transparencies have a visible purple cast, but colour correction removed this pretty well. The main issue is the purple speckling that remains in the shadow areas. While I don't think I'll use my other roll for anything of critical importance, at least I know that, in the right conditions I can get usable results (although at least one image went somewhat awry in terms of colour).
I'll post a few more as I upload them to Flickr.
