In one of the bags, that he got with it we found this 120 BW film.
It is Agfa Isopan ISS, asa 100; stil in original packaging- looks
quite
fresh ; )) I mean the box hasn't even faded and is bright orange. Its
expiration date is Jan '74 : D
I'd like to do some portraiture shots on it.
So, I guess it has lost it's speed, probably a few stops. I'm
thinking I
should probably expose it at EI 25 at least, maybe even 15. Than... I
guess
I'll put it through Rodinal(?) Not sure what dillusion.
Any suggestions on how to deal with this geriatric emulsion ?!?

Greetings;

As I have pointed out a couple of times before, Scarpitti /
Uraniumcommittee, you really do not encourage or assist anyone at all
with the gross majority of your comments. It would be revealing to
establish a count of constructive and meaningful words in your
vocabulary and subtract from that count the number of offensive and/or
vulgar words contained in your vocabulary.

As it happens I came across a package of old Ilford PAN-F 120-rollfilms
a few months ago with an expiry of 1980; I rated it at 2/3 box speed and
it worked fine. I will not be throwing this film out - it will be very
handy for checking my various medium-format gear for light leaks etc.,
and also for taking shots from my storage oscilloscope. I would suggest
to the original poster that they (a) ignore your line of derogatory
remarks and (b) try a roll at 2/3 box speed like I did.

Many folk are getting sick and tired of your splutterings.

My regards - F.C. Trevor Gale.

You're full of ****. Cosmic rays/gamma rays ruin film, and after 30
years, it's thoroughly ruined.


Your ignorance is as proufound as it is wide. 30-year old unexposed
film is useless. You deal with exposed old film, to try to rescue
something for your customers. There is no earthly reason to use 30 year
old unexposed film. It's ****.
