I have two expired but unopened boxes (20 sheets in each) of Provia 4x5 film if anyone wants them.  One box expired Nov 2012 and the other Oct 2013.  They were refrigerated for most of their shelf lives, but I can't guarantee there hasn't been some colour shifting.
 
Free to a good home - let me know if you want them.

Bruce:
    I'm using 4X5 and 8X10 Fujichrome RDP from 2008 and it's pretty good, no serious colour imbalance etc. so your film ought to be quite useable. Are you getting out of 4X5 or of colour?

Maybe I'm just being jumpy, but I used some of this same vintage a while ago and there was noticeable colour shift when I got the processed film back.  At $5 per sheet for processing (or whatever the current cost is) I was reluctant to shoot anything serious with it.
 
Nope, I'm not getting out of 4x5 and I would like to shoot colour from time to time, but the cost is getting quite prohibitive.  Maybe it's worth another shot with this stuff since I've already paid for the raw film.

I just read the bottom paragraph if you want to hang onto it Bruce, no problem.  Nice if there are more of us 4x5 photographers out there.
