That's a little too old for my taste, especially if it was not frozen. It's a risk. Especially faster films deteriorate quickly. With B&W film, you can experiment more and I have used 10 year old film which was still well if developed properly. But for C41, tough luck. Best regards, Frantisek Vlcek
