Expired Film Club (Brooklyn Film Camera)

What's in the box: Rolls of expired film with a focus on rare stocks, though the site does not state the exact quantity or formats per box.

Expired Film Club is the subscription arm of Brooklyn Film Camera, a shop at 855 Grand St in Brooklyn whose main business is restoring and selling vintage cameras, from Pentax K1000s and Canon AE-1s to rebuilt Polaroid SX-70s. The shop says it has restored more than 25,000 cameras and backs each one with a three to six month warranty, which suggests a team that knows film well. The club itself is pitched simply: rare stocks, beautiful results, and the occasional happy accident. That is an honest description of shooting expired film, where color shifts, extra grain, and fogging are part of the appeal and results can vary from roll to roll. What the site does not make clear up front is the price, how often shipments arrive, how many rolls come in each box, or whether you can choose formats like 35mm or 120. Check those details on the club page before signing up. The shop also offers film developing, which could make it a convenient one stop option if you want to send rolls back after shooting. Overall, this looks like a good fit for film shooters who enjoy surprises and want to try stocks they would not find on a store shelf, backed by an established camera shop. Anyone who needs predictable results for paid work should look elsewhere.
