Dick,

Sorry for the delayed reply. I work loooong days...

The 200 I picked up a month ago is 04/2006; the 400 from ten days ago is 
03/2006 and the 800 is 10/2005. Their film is probably as fresh as 
possible. I imagine the faster film has a much shorter exp. date than the 
slower film..., maybe 18 months for the 200 from date of manufacture, 15 
months for the 400, and just a year for the 800. Pure speculation on my 
part of course.

Best,

William
