osscat Posted November 18, 2008 Share #1 Posted November 18, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) We moved house ten years ago - things go AWOL at those times - lots of stuff stays in boxes - my darkroom equipment and paraphernalia remained that way for some time. When I unpacked to rebuild a temporary darkroom I thought I had lost a batch of about 40 rolls of exposed TriX - Lo and behold I found them recently. Now I am wondering how I should develop them. Trial and error is one method. Any suggestions?? Osscat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

phc Posted November 19, 2008 Share #2 Posted November 19, 2008 I'm interested in this too - I always have exposed film lying around that didn't get deved immediately for some reason. These days I don't soup my own films, but the lab, who presumably use standard times, do a good job. Seems modern film is pretty robust stuff.

Guest trix Posted November 19, 2008 Share #3 Posted November 19, 2008 Any suggestions?? D76 1+1 , 10 minutes at 68F Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
osscat Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share #4 Posted November 19, 2008 D76 1+1 , 10 minutes at 68F My normal process method is D76 1+1 - 11.5 mins gentle inversion. my concern is overcoming the probable increase in base fog due to an aged latent image - the edge sharpness might be badly affected too. I wondered if there was anyone with such experience - I believe Rodinol has been discontinued so another acutance developer might be appropriate. Hmm - must bite the bullet and get some fresh D76. Thanks Osscat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
topoxforddoc Posted November 19, 2008 Share #5 Posted November 19, 2008 Mark Norton had a great thread on his blog about a year ago on old film. He developed some film from the last war and got printable images. I developed a roll of Agfa film from the 1970s that had lain exposed for over 30 years. I souped it in XTOL and added a bit more development time to allow for age - worked ok. Charlie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
