exposing and processing original xp1

TheGreatGasMaskMan · Mar 7, 2024

Today I picked up two Ilford xp1 rolls (one 120 roll dated 1982, and an undated 35mm roll, but it's almost certainly about the same age). the thing is, I remember reading a couple years ago that xp1 didn't have standard c41 dev times, and xp2 was developed in response to this. So my question for you all would be- what speed should I shoot this at to have it processed normally? (also I have no idea how this was stored.)

I would try 125 ASA BUT that film is most probably 'GREENED' by now - ie the emulsion has been so affected by fumes and radiation over the years you get pale green negs !

that doesn't bother me at all- that's the whole point of expired film
