gah Posted May 15, 2013 Share #21 Posted May 15, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) 25 year-old underexposed latent images are almost certainly gone by now. Not worth the trouble. Film that has not been exposed has a better chance of being usable than exposed film. Latent images on old film deteriorate faster than new images on old film. I can recall seeing rolls of color film with several sets of Christmas photos on them, from customers. The recent ones were fine; the old ones, from 2 or 3 years back, showed color shifts and loss of contrast. I developed last year some rolls of Panatomic-X exposed at EI 250, the recommended (at the time) EI for Diafine. Though they were a little thin, it is likely that EI 250 is a little optimistic. (Diafine now says 160.) Still, they were printable. I now have some unexposed old Panatomic X to try. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

philipus Posted May 15, 2013 Share #22 Posted May 15, 2013 I'm very curious to see how this goes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
semi-ambivalent Posted June 6, 2013 Share #23 Posted June 6, 2013 and I'm saying I can satisfy his curiosity by saying he'll get nothing of value. If you are so intent on telling people what will satisfy their curiosity can you tell me why I keep doing analog photography? Oh, I remember, it's because it's fun; even the failures. Never mind. s-a Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico Posted June 6, 2013 Share #24 Posted June 6, 2013 25 year-old underexposed latent images are almost certainly gone by now. Not worth the trouble. Thousands of found-rolls of undeveloped film have been processed, many of them worthwhile. It is worth a try. B&W film can be re-developed (intensified) with modest success.
