Playing around with some expired film - a roll of Agfa Vista 100 that I found at my parents-in-laws house.
My guess is that it's about 15 years expired, based on some other stuff I found. I exposed it at 50.
The shadows are a bit of a mess and there's a kind of a brown cast with some grain, however I like the look. Unfortunately I only have one more roll.

Pentax LX, A 50/1.2

Nice results!

My general experience with expired Agfa C-41 films has been a colour shift that is in the yellow-to-red spectrum, with a general preference towards orange. Your roll looks to have been on the mild side when it comes to strength of the it.

Nice sharp flower shot. A spotmatic with that same lens came up for sale local to me recently. What do you think of the lens?

Thank you. Could over exposing this film by a stop (as I did) have helped with keeping the colour shift minimal? Or is it strictly related to the deterioration of the film itself?

My very first manual lens and also one of my favourites. It is slow for a standard prime but I don't mind, it's a sharp one and it focuses very close.

Here's another one from the same lens but on FP4.

Probably not. AFAIK colour shift has more to do with the age of the film & how it was stored, as opposed to any compensation for the decrease in sensitivity.
