Hello

I found a couple rolls of Delta 400, that have an expiration date of 2006 on them. Do you think they are still usable? They have been stored at room temperature.

Thanks
KK
 
I'd overexpose just a bit, and use them right up. Go for it!
 
Thanks. I figured I would burn it at 250 or 320 and develop normally.
 
Try one roll and develop it, see what it looks like. Should be fine.
 
I'm with Terry on this one, I've shot 10 year old Delta and T-Max at box speed with no problems.
 
I'd shoot it at 200 based on my experience with film that old not stored frozen. Shooting it at box speed you'll get a printable neg for sure but I'd rather be slightly overexposed than underexposed for generally what I want to see from negs. As for shooting at 250/320, I shoot most of my 400 speed films there especially if using a camera set on AE if there's expected to be any sky or bright backgrounds involved...
