Rodinal 1:50 4+ hours stand processing. NG. Fogged. May back off to Rodinal 1:100 again, 2 hour stand. Or try HC110 dilution E, 24 minutes.

I've been doing some testing with very old, poorly stored XP1 400. Sent some out for C41 processing, blank result. Decided to do some kitchen sink processing to reproduce how I used to dunk the stuff at home with standard B&W chemistry. So, D76 for 15 minutes, also blank. Today, Rodinal 1:100...

How did you deal with the anti-halation dye? I have just run 2 rolls through D76 for 20 minutes and they look completely black. Don't see anything when I shine a light through them. May be anti- halation? Or completely degraded? Will try doing stand devo with Rodinol later

Good stuff. Gives me hope of salvaging images from a couple dozen exposed 4x5 & 8x10 sheets of Plus X that have been hiding in the back of a file cabinet for many, many years. No space or time to rebuild my darkroom until recently.

Thanks. Did you get an image from that old TriX?

So, essentially normal or a bit longer, even with such old film. I wonder if there is realistically any hope of getting an image after this length of time?

I've got a shopping bag full of exposed XP1 dating from around 1990. Stored most of that time in the back of a cupboard. Had a brainwave recently and sent a few off to lab for C41 processing, but that seems to have been a total failure. When I had my own darkroom, I used to process this stuff...
