Subject: [pure-silver] Old (very old) but already exposed film!


Does anyone have some experience with this?

I have been given some very old B&W 120 film (<1950?), which has been
exposed but never was developed. One is labeled ŒAdox R17¹, some are just
called ŒPerutz¹, and one is called ŒAgfa L Isopan¹. The owner assures me
that the content is of considerable importance to her and her family. I like
to give it a try and develop it for her, but I only have ID-11 and Rodinal
at the moment.

What is the best way to handle this? Any special treatment?

I meant to add that Greg Miller says that roll film holds up better than other kinds. His guess is that its wound tightly enough to keep air out.
