Processing OLD film -question

2002-05-11 Thread Cotty

Outrageously old rolls of exposed film pop up in our household 
occasionally - found in a drawer or at the bottom of a closet. I have two 
rolls found like this. One is a 24 exp FP4 that I processed normally in 
Ilfosol for 6.5 mins at 1:9 and the negs were horribly thin. Shot by the 
SO, judging form the look of our son in some images, at least 5 years 
ago. Now, this could have been due to exposure errors, but before I 
develop the next roll (details below), would there be any advantage of 
pushing or pulling development to compensate for the effects of age on 
exposed images?

The next roll is at least 6 years old The label on the cassette 
indicates it's a roll of Jessop KB17 36 exp @ 100 ISO and was made in 
Croatia. I would expect to treat it like FP4, but would there be any 
advantage in cutting or increasing development time? Not concerned about 
the contents (obviously!)...

Many thanks

Cotty

Hi,

why not do a clip test and decide from that?
