[rollei_list] Re: The outdate film

Howdy from Wyoming;
I have been using some very long outdated film for the past 3 years.  I 
inherited from the US Forest Service a large quantiy of film they had in 
various refrigerators and freezers.  It consists of: 120 size Verichrome Pan 
with expiration dates in the early 1990's; and 35mm Panatomic X 20 exposure 
rolls dated in the mid 1980's and as early as 1978.

I overexpose by one stop and underdevelop by about 20% usually in Microdol-X 
but I have used Ilford DDX. The results are mostly fine, quite useable, and 
scanable. 

They also gave me some Ektachrome of various breeds.  Most is trash.  But I 
have had interesting results in cross-processing.

Dear everyone,

Some bulk of outdate film is bidding on ebay, but some of them is outdate
before 2000. Have you ever used these film? Although be refrigerated, their
quality still have a decretion.

Someone like shoot with these film, they said that the negative have special
and strange effection.

Others notice me to shoot the outdate film by increse the speed of film
(iso/asa), one or two f stop, depending how old of film.

I had some of Kodak Tmax 400 rolls end on 1999, no refrigerated. The
negative is more dark than the new, as when the film is over developed.

Please give me your idea.
Best regards,
Xuan Truong
