The big problem with out-of-date film is that often the emulsion slides off in the developer.

Perhaps should clarify that. The emulsion on a roll of Konica print film slid off one time for me - hence I binned the batch. I have used elderly B/W film - some of it 100 years old with no problems.

You can just throw some pieces of foam above and below the 35mm canister in the camera to shoot 35mm vs 120 in a holga..... check here :)
