Yes, up to about a year post the expiration date if kept in a dark closet. I"ve taken some nice shots with backdated film! Usually enhances constrast. Use the same shutter speeds and F-stops as with normal work, if you have a manual camera as do I. It is safe to have an in-camera ( not in the legal sense) roll life of about a month, using normal ( not back-dated) film. It takes a while to do a long roll, keep this in mind. Again always store your camera in a dark closet with the lens cap or caps on. also, if you are manually advanced type- leave shutter uncocket between frames. this also minimizes stress and strain in the movements.

It all depends on the kind of digital camera you have, if the lens mount is the same on both of the cameras, then the lens will work (Minolta and Sony are interchangeable) Off camera flashes may also work, again depending on the kind of camera(s). And of course, film wont.

Infrared (IR) photos are taken with normal cameras using infrared film. The difference is the film used, not the camera. IR film is sensitive to the IR spectrum of light, not the visible spectrum.
