Thanks. I found 2 rolls so there's not enough to worry myself with. I metered at 100 on the one roll I shot. Seems the man I got it from marked it 1961, but I'm not sure. I think I'll toss it.

I forgot to add that I do use D76.

This has not been stored cold, so maybe I shouldn't even waste my
time processing it.  Is that what you'd say, if time's at a premium?
I was trying something rather experimental in the shooting, anyway,
so to get a true sense if the shooting conditions work I should use a
film I know to be good - shouldn't I?  (I saw this one handy, in a
basket, and grabbed it rather than go in where the grandbaby was
sleeping to get another film.)

Thanks, all!


If you found several rolls its worth testing one. If you just want to play with it its also OK but I wouldn't use it for anything important. You can reduce the fog by adding some potassium bromide or benzotriazole to the developer. This has the effect of clearing the fog but also reduces the speed. Film that is evenly fogged can be used without an anti-foggant by increasing the exposure by a stop or more.
