The images below were shot on the Contax RTS (roll 50).

I will speak more about my experience down below…

LLOYDS PHARMACY 200 (EXPIRED FILM)

Before we get to the Images at hand, I should say i’m going to show you two versions. The first version are scans straight from the Lab with no corrections and no edits and then the second lot will be the images in their final state. This is because i’ve not shot expired film before this and am not sure how to handle it. On one hand corrections are great and the images look really nice but on the other hand I want to show you the film’s characteristics and not change them at all.

The images below are all without corrections. I haven’t edited them or touched them in any way. They are exactly what the Lab sent me.

The only thing I did was convert them to Jpegs.

Straight off the bat, I am very happy with the above images. Even more so considering this was the first time practicing the Sunny 16 rule. I used no light meter, I just went off what I thought would be correct given the amount of light in the scene. For the vast vast majority of these, I didn't meter at all apart from just a few frames here and there that I shot using my cameras in built light meter. I seemed to be doing something right as only a few frames I think 4 or 5 came out underexposed. My best guess is that this roll was not refrigerated but I could be wrong as this is only my first experience with expired film.
I think I am right in saying that if film has been refrigerated or frozen, it keeps its sensitivity pretty well and can still be shot close to its original box speed. However since I rated it all the way down at ISO 50, and the results turned out nicely, then that tells me the roll probably wasn’t stored in the fridge or freezer, because it had clearly lost a couple of stops of speed over time.
I really like and enjoy the colours that are present in these. They have a really orange and almost coffee brownish tint to a lot of them which I am quite a big fan of. This film actually expired all the way back in June of 2006 so I am really happy with these results. During this roll I went out shooting at home, in Exmouth, in Exeter and in Sidmouth. We went back to Sidmouth to watch the Red Arrows. The Red Arrows are planes and they sometimes do shows where they fly around and do stunts. Anyways, so that's all I have to say about the first set of images. let's move on to the next ones.

The images below have been edited corrected. I do what I always do with my film such as adjust exposure and white balance along with changes to highlights, shadows and contrast etc.

I don’t have much to say that I didn’t put in the first description so I’ll keep this one brief. After colour correcting and a few edits here and there, I noticed quite a big difference between the two. Colours, look more normal and not as tinted. The film is more contrasty now then it ever was before (over time film loses it’s contrast so it was important that I bring it back a bit) and they look cleaner. Skies are blue and the grass is green unlike the unedited versions. 
I do like this and I feel they have a place but only if they are supplied among the originals because people shoot expired films for a reason. Okay, maybe it’s because it’s cheaper but really it’s for experimentation for the vast amount of people out there. By editing them, they lose their characteristics and it doesn’t look like the original photograph. Some people like that and I'm still on the fence about that as of right now. I think going forward for expired films I will supply both the two versions in my portfolio.
All in all, I am very happy with these. I do think that shooting expired films is a good way to practice your exposure and learning to meter by eye because if it doesn’t come out well and you make some mistakes then it’s okay because you haven’t blown expensive amounts of money on regular film to practice with. I also think expired film is great to shoot and a very fun experience. I am very excited to try this again, either with another roll of Lloyd’s Pharmacy or another expired film stock in general. It’s cheaper than regular film and in some cases it looks even better.
