How long does undeveloped film last after pictures have been taken?

I went on a trip in February 2009 and used my film camera. I still have not developed my film and was wondering if my film will be expired ? I don't mind if their discolored because I like that, but I would hate to waste money on rolls of film and have them all come out black.|||I got film developed that I found in an old camera. I don't know how old it (the film) was, but probably from the 70's or 80's. It came out perfectly fine. If you go to a professional lab, they are more likely to pay attention and adjust the colours for prints if they're off on the negatives.|||to be honest with you, I have used films and not developed them till a year or so later and they have turned out fine. With some of them (which may have been WAYYY off the exp say 3 years or so, the film turned out fuzzy, but not unidentifiable which means they can still be ok, they had some weird effects to which I kind of liked, some of them however were unbelievably weird which still liked, they had a nice quality, all I can say is that old film can still work out how the picture you intentionally meant to take, however if you leave it there too long, say over 2 years past exp!! they turn out fuzzy...|||People pay big money to actually find and buy expired film...





You'll be fine, if you want to be absolutely sure - just get the roll processed and have the negatives printed if they look ok..





Usually when film is way expired the colors can shift, a lot of people love that look.. :)|||Your films should be alright. They should last as long as the expiry date on the film. Keep your films in the fridge to preserve them longer|||They should be fine as long as the film is kept in the dark.|||lol I've had them developed YEARS later and they were fine!
