Hello,
I bought (120 format ) rolls of Agfa 400 asa maturing in February 2009.

Which development for this film and how to use it (the nominal exposure, 200 asa, etc..)?

Shoot it at box speed, i always shoot at box speed. I don't know if that applies for expired film too.

I would consider it fairly fresh, and shoot rated speed. It would be a toss-up between Pyrocat-HD and D-76 1+3 for development(maybe D-76 1+1 for certain subjects) most likely Pyro. I love the look of APX in Pyro for almost everything.

It'll be fine.

I shoot it at 200-400 depending on my shooting requirements, and adjust the development time slightly. I use Rodinal 1+100 and PC-TEA 1+50 depending on mood. Development times can be found on the massive development chart.
