[Leica] Old film question

[Nathan Wajsman]

My instinct is that if it has been in the freezer it should be OK. But if it is once-in-a-lifetime trip, then maybe it would be better to invest in fresh film.

Cheers,
Nathan

I though of digging out my R8 for my upcoming trip and shooting it but was wondering if you think it might be any good or would I just be wasting my money on developing costs?  If scanned do you think I could get the full range of colors from it?  I haven't shot any color film since about 2007 and thought it might be a good exercise in self control.
