The first main difference is of course the colour, the whites are slightly sepia toned, but it is most likely due to the age of the film, yet it does add a certain style to the photographs, while the black is dark enough to cause a major contrast to the images. This is of course excellent if, like me, you're a fan of the more dark, mysterious photos, but if you're looking for a less contrasting photo, it's as simple as using a flash, especially indoors, where the contrast seems to be highest.
Honestly, I am quite impressed at how 'moody' these photos turned out, since most film I use in this camera turn out very over-exposed, while these ones seemed to be a lot more mist-like in their exposure, by which I mean that when I viewed the photos the extra light was concentrated on the edges of the image or along the bottom, making it seem much more mysterious.
Like with every new type of film however, it does take practice to achieve a decent photograph, which is why taking multiple pictures at the same location is always a good idea.
While this film was exciting to use, the fact that it was so hard to get rid of this 'misting' effect means that anyone not as interested in this kind of photography may not wish to buy the expired packs, just to be on the safe side.
