Old Kodak film.

Post by alexvaras »

Hi all,

This time an small batch of 127, 620 and one 616 film.
Outdated as picture:

How do you think I should rated? 1 stop down for every 10 years, develop as per introductions?
Or just do a test roll and correct for the next?
Being some of them color I don’t develop myself so I should talk to the lab, if I buy the kit for color probably it will be spoiled over time since I don’t do it often.
(Well, I got about 75 Agfa color film sheets 13x18) so maybe I should buy the kit).

Alex

For the Verichrome B&W I would suggest just an extra stop and a good prayer. Do not overdevelop; the film probably has held most of its sensitivity but fog and grain will be noticeable.

The color film will be most likely not useable. Save the paper and spools for 127, or experiment with cross-processing.

Yes, Julio, the main operation were the spools and the back paper for my reloadings.

I found this article:

I will do a test roll an tell the lab precise instructions as he did.

The Color film is C22 not C41 so I would suggest you shoot it and then develop it in any B&W Developer you want for double the time or even a 2 hour semi stand in Rodinal 1-100. I have also saved some old exposed but never developed C22 film by doing a semi stand in C-41 at room temperature.


If we all saw the world the same no one would need a camera.
