>>3047020Yes, old expired film requires more exposure, and especially old fast film.
Your lab man is just being kind and saving you money, your photos would have been horrendous given the shit equipment he'd be scanning it with. (also, if all the photos are of a pillar, taken from the back of your youth group, fuck man why even bother?)
If you want to take on dslr scanning seriously though, you'd be able to extract photos from that roll.
Pic related was quick and dirty, to give even remotely normal looking colour over the entire frame, including the overexposed background, would require some layer masking HDR type stuff.
