Do the films have an expiration date? I don't need the films until end of April... Should I hold of on buying films until closer to April?

well the odd part is that the films were up to date so I don't know what the problem was exactly it was only with two packs /:

Yes all films have an expiration date ! It is probably better to buy close to April

I don't think they have an expiration date on them. I had bought film before february and used it in vegas in june.. They were still good!

If the film is kept in a cool place like a 'fridge, it should, like most films, last a while. NEVER put instant film in the freezer (35mm is okay, though). I buy film when it's cheap and then store it. And with the wild swings of this film, that's something I definitely do!

You need to ask a seller this question, not Amazon customers. However I have ordered film from Amazon sellers (fulfilled by Amazon) and received film expired by a year! Amazon replaced it (got to keep the old film) at no charge. Also the expired film worked fine. But I've ordered over 20 packs and have only ever receive one expired pack.

All Lomography film is past the expiration date but does not give you a specific date.

I freeze mine and it can last pretty much forever if kept frozen. I also keep some in the refrigerator for when I need a roll quickly. B&W; films tend to last longer than color films anyway so it should last a while if it's new stock.

If you order direct from Amazon, they should be dated after 3/15, since when I last bought some from Amazon in Jan. of this year they had that ex. date (that is assuming Amazon is shipping fresh stock). The film though should be good five years after the expiration date, as long as it is kept in the freezer/frig and not in the heat/humidity. If Amazon does not send you fresh film, then B&H and Adorama on the east coast and Freestyle on the west have a reputation for having fresh film stock.

the film i bought like that was outdated, so i returned it. i think if you are willing to pay that much for a trip back in time, they should make sure its not expired!

I bought mine on Dec 28th with the 3 extra movies then noticed the price drop to below $150, I emailed asking for a refund of the difference and got a reply the same day confirming they would refund the difference. Last night I noticed the price is now $132, I emailed again and just got confirmation that I was refunded the $15 difference.Sounds like email is the easiest way to do this.

I am a buyer not a seller but I will comment. Most sellers put the expiration date in the description and it is very helpful when they do. I recently took a chance and bought some on ebay because the price was good and the gamble worked. They out date a year from now. However , it is a big gamble. When rating sellers, all buyers should make a point of this.

Actually, I bought the wrong type of film when I purchased the camera for my 8-year old niece. It appears that what's available has expired, but I'm going to purchase one anyone if I'm unsuccessful finding it at a local camera shop.

I ordered the film on amazon as well not reading carefully that it was expired, so it did not work. I know that urban outfitters sells the film in store and online and these are new. It is somewhat expensive in my opinion but worth it.

The expiration date is on the box, and is usually pretty far out. A box of these tears will only last me a month, so there is no danger for me of them being past the expiration date.

Absolutely not at all. Please don't waste your money. I bought 2 packs, both were garbage. The film looks exposed. It's a scam. Once they get your money, because of that tacky disclaimer, it's lost. If you open the film you can't return it but you don't know if the film is bad unless you open the pack. SCAM...

I just took a roll out of the freezer and it has an expiration date of 06/2016. I bought it May, so I would say at least two years, probably longer. If you freeze it, it should last forever. You are doubtless aware that Tri-X is still made by Kodak. It's so inexpensive that there is no point in buying expired film. Just get it new. Cheers.

I've order this film several time and I've had great results. I threw away the outer packaging from my last order and that is where you will find the expiration date. The film canister is black with white lettering; "Lomography, 400 Color Print Film 135, CP 36 * 400/27, C-41, 36 exp., 400 ISO, 135 DXn, with a barcode". Hope this helps. Good luck!

They have been released already. All of the stock/versions A1, A2, X1, X2 sold out rather quickly. Another shipment should be arriving the end of this month supposedly. I pre-ordered an A2 version from here. It only lacks a blu-ray drive which is not a big deal for me at least. You can check anywhere on the net. Every site is taking orders but they are pre-orders only. I've had great service from Amazon and figure they'll get one of the larger shipments.
