Colin,

To answer your questions:

1. I have loaded in bright sunlight with no problems (120 rolls)

2. Yes, shoot the expired stuff all the time with no problems - however do
keep the film in the fridge.  Exposure compensation is not required.

Have one expired roll which has travelled about 8000 miles, been subjected
to extremes of temperature 35C to -4C over 24 hour periods and been through
X-Ray machines twice.  Intend to shoot this over the next couple of weeks
as a test of the film :-)

3. Times depend on filtration - start with the times suggested in the
documentation that comes with the film: f5.6 and 1/60 using a R1 filter in
daylight.  See http://home.stlnet.com/~rrosener/konica3.html


Konica 750 is my favourite film.  Good luck.


All the best,

              Clive   http://clive.bel-epa.com
