Up for sale is a pack of 10 rolls of legendary Fujichrome Provia 100F 35mm color reversal (slide) film. These rolls officially expired in 2015, but they’ve been archivally cold-stored ever since, and unlike most expired film sold online, this batch has been thoroughly tested and proven to deliver.
Tested & Verified – Sample Photos Included
This isn’t guesswork. This exact lot has been tested, and I’ve included actual sample images shot from this very batch in the product photos. The film was developed in homebrewed E-6 chemistry and performed flawlessly, showing no issues with color balance, density, or fogging.
I even overexposed a test roll by +1 stop (as one might normally do with expired film), but the results were actually too bright — meaning this stock barely needs any exposure compensation at all. That’s how clean and well-preserved it is, even a full decade past expiry. You can shoot it at box speed (ISO 100) with confidence.
Key Features & Characteristics
Film Type: Color reversal / slide film (E-6 / CR-56 / C6R process)
ISO / Sensitivity: ISO 100 (daylight balanced)
Grain / Sharpness: Ultra-fine grain (RMS granularity ~8) with outstanding detail, perfect for projection, scanning, or large prints
Color Rendition: The signature Provia look, punchy but natural color, rich primaries, smooth tonal gradation
Exposure Latitude: Moderate; can be pushed up to +2 stops or pulled about ½ stop with predictable results
Reciprocity Behavior: Stable between 1/4000 sec and 1 minute
Versatility: Ideal for landscape, travel, nature, portraiture, product work, or any project where you want slide film’s unmistakable look
Storage, Condition & What to Expect
Officially expired in 2015, but these rolls were stored in a cold, dark, controlled environment that preserved color stability and sensitivity far better than typical expired stock.
Expected performance: Near-box-speed sensitivity, minimal grain increase, and subtle, often beautiful tonal shifts.
As with any expired film, slight variations in color (such as a hint of magenta or blue) can occur, especially if underexposed, but that’s part of the charm many shooters seek.
Important: Because this is expired film, treat it as a ceative medium rather than a precision tool. But rest assured, this isn’t a mystery lot. It’s been shot, tested, and proven.
What’s Included
10 rolls of Fujifilm Provia 100F, 35mm, 36 exposures each
Original canisters and packaging (as available)
Shooting Tips
1. Shoot at box speed — don’t automatically overexpose; this batch doesn’t need it.
2. Bracket exposures if you want to map the tonal range of your particular camera setup.
3. Test one roll first if you’re planning a big project, though results should be very consistent.
4. Push gently (+1 stop max) if you want added contrast.
5. Correct minor casts easily during scanning or in post-production.
In short: This is not some questionable expired stock pulled from a garage sale freezer. This is tested, proven, premium Provia 100F with life, color, and vibrancy still intact. If you’ve been itching to shoot real slide film with all its unmatched color depth and analog soul, this is your chance.
