Konica Minolta VX 100?
« on: May 24, 2014, 06:56:56 PM »
I was hitting up a local camera store to buy a used power winder and passed by a store I had never noticed before: part dry cleaners, part passport photo shop, part mini lab. I thought it had to be a mistake or a joke, but no, looks like a dry cleaners with an old school tourist trap in the corner: film and camera batteries.

They had 10-roll bricks of 36 exposure VX 100 Super with no expiration date markings for $20 a piece, or individual rolls for $4, so I bought a test roll on a gamble.

Anyone ever shoot with the stuff? How expired is it likely to be?

based on your descriptions, and previous research if it dont say DNP or simply just konica but Konica Minolta. expired 2007 or there abouts for the newest. Never shot it.

Konica changed their film branding to Konica Minolta in 2004, production stopped in 2006, DNP resumed production and had product in 2007 or so. DNP stopped in 2009.
