Does Kodak still make film
Yes! 35mm is still made and is by far the most popular film format that we sell. 35mm is still made by a few of the big dogs in film such as Kodak and Ilford as well as lots of lovely indie brands such as Film Washi, Dubblefilm and Candido.
Are 35mm cameras still used
Film photography is on the rise, and recent developments from camera manufacturers suggest that it's not just a passing trend. Leica, for example, has started re-manufacturing its flagship M6 35mm film camera for ongoing sales. This isn't a limited edition run, either.
Can 35mm film still be developed
No matter what type of film requires developing, you can bring it to your local CVS Photo location for processing. Services include processing for 35mm film, disposable cameras, Advanced Photo System film, black and white film, 110 film and slide film.
Why is 35mm so popular
35mm lenses are amongst the most popular out there, considered to be standard lenses with an ideal focal length that covers multiple applications. They're accessible, easy to use and fun to shoot with which is why many photographers include them in their kit.
Why is 35mm so good
The 35mm lens has a relatively big aperture. A larger aperture allows more light into the camera, so when light is limited, it can maximize its potential.
Does 35mm film go bad
But it does have a limited shelf life. A roll of film usually has an expiration date of two years after the date of manufacture. But it's more of a guideline than an exact date. A film's decline will be gradual, so don't be quick to throw them out.
Will 30 year old film develop
It is rare to have a film more than 30 years old render decent color by accelerating or processing direct to color. Expect highly distressed color images (or nothing). The cooler your film was kept over time, the more likely you are to get good color.

Why 50mm is better than 35mm
50mm is what the human eye sees as a sharp field of view. We are immediately used to it as we effectively use a 50mm all the time. The Canon 50mm f/1.8 STM is one of the best budget lenses around, especially for its speed. This lens gives you a better depth of field than the 35mm, meaning better bokeh.
Will 20 year old 35mm film work
Yes. Old film doesn't go bad all at once – colors shift, contrast fades away, and fog builds up. Old film (~10+ years past the process date) will have faded, skewing towards magenta. In many cases, this is preferred and authentic to the time.
Will 35mm film ever stop being produced
Because of this, don't ever worry that 35mm, 120 or 4 x 5" film will become unavailable in our lifetime. If anything, sheet film (4×5," 5×7," 8×10" etc.) is actually growing in popularity as new photographers who started in digital start to get serious, and jump straight to large-format.
Can I use 50 year old film
Some films may last years, maybe decades past their intended use-by date, as long as they're carefully stored. Heat and radiation will eventually turn film into a fogged mess. And even with that degradation, expired film can be used to take good images.
Why does 35mm look so good
“When filming on 35mm, each frame consists of a single image taken when the footage is shot. However, when it is filmed digitally, each frame on screen consists of thousands of tiny pixels that are put together to create the image. This gives footage shot on film a more subtle and accurate depiction of the images.”
Why is 35mm so special
The 35mm lens is extremely versatile. The 35mm is a lens that allows you to capture many different types of camera shots and angles. It's wide enough to capture background elements, but close enough to shoot more intimate shots like coverage and portraits.

All 35mm and 120 film has an expiration date. This is because the chemicals in the film start to degrade over time, and change the coatings that were originally put on the film. Most film has an expiration date of a few years when purchased from new.

The grain size will increase, you might even lose a few shots on the roll. Anything older will be hit or miss and on a case-by-case basis. Of course these are not hard and fast rules. We have seen film that was less than ten years old barely turn out and film that was 30 years old look amazing.

So, there's no problem when using expired film and the only thing you have to take into consideration is that you'll need more light than stated. A general rule is to shoot the film one stop slower than box speed for every ten years past the printed expiration date.
