I found that it's a crap shoot. You may get something you may not. It may
have fog or not. Overall density can be an issue making them pretty dense

Hi Eric,
Thanks for responding.... I take it the restrainer is the
Benzotriazole?
So 7-12 min in stock D-76.
I seem to remember reading that old films loose some of their
contrast, hence their softness (?) So wouldn't the longer
development time (12min) help what contrast is left?
Cheers,
Bogdan

Gevaert of Belgium for Univex. A label on the box says that
it should be developed by 1949.

All ideas are welcome. I have four EXPOSED rolls. and I
still have my 3.5 gal tank of stock D-76 which I was going
to dump but decided I could develop the film by dunking it
in the tank. Probably have to add Benzotriazole to the
D-76..... how much per litre/gal? Anything else I can try?
I'll do one roll at a time, so I have 4 trys at finding the
right combination to adequately expose one roll of the film.
