Delta 100?

[Brad Bireley]

Hi,
I'm new to this forum. Just found it the other day & had to subscribe! I have been shooting digital for the last couple of years & something has happen to me the last week or so! I need to get back to film for my personal work! I had gave a friend of mine my whole darkroom several years ago. Now I'm waiting on hearing from him if he still has it. I know he doesn't use it, so I hope he still has it.

I do have a question,, I have some delta 100 that has been sitting in room temperature for a couple of years. It has a date of 1/06. Does anyone know if it should be ok to use?

Thanks in advance for any help,
Brad

Welcome to APUG, Brad. The film should be fine at this point, but I'd suggest shooting a test roll to be sure before using it on something important.

The film should be fine.

You're forgiven. Go forth, and sin no more.

I have some Delta 100 and 400 that was frozen for about five years, and now has been at room temp for the past three. Past its date considerably, but it's fine with no adjustments needed.

Got some FP4+ that's been around at least ten years, and it's doing fine too.

Two months past date, at room temperature? It's fine, unless you live in a hot desert somewhere (or Atlanta). Probably okay even there -- ISO 100 isn't really very prone to age fogging.
