Developing 15 year old Delta 100

[Francesco-p]

Hey Guys - was wondering what approach to take for developing this 15 year old roll of Ilford delta 100 (exp.2001). I shot a test roll exposing it at 100, but might have already made a mistake there, as i've read here that the roll might have already lost 1-2 stops.

Does anyone have some suggestion on how i should adjust the dev time from the baseline? Indication for a regular roll would be 5 mins at 1+9 for Ilfosol 3.

I appreciate any input! Thanks!!!
Francesco

I'm currently shooting some Ilford Delta 100 that expired in 2006. I shoot it at 100 and develop normally, and it looks great. I would develop it as normal if it was me, and adjust from there.

Thanks! - I ended up developing close to 160 and actually came out quite satisfactory. It's hanging to dry... will know more soon

Recently I found a film can unmarked and opened it up as it felt there was something inside...there was. It was a partially shot roll of Agfapan 100. the leader was marked "#14 Last Shot". Apparently, I shot 14 frames and for some reason rewound it and put it away until now. I'm not sure what to do with it other than put it back in a camera, go past #14 a frame or two and just shoot the rest and develop and see what happens.

I do know that roll has to be around 20 years old or better. Problem is I don't know what ASA I shot it. It could have been 64 or 100 as I typically did that film.

HC-110 is your friend.

Yep, ID-11 and Rodinal.

Develop it. Don't risk trying to shoot more frames. New film is cheap.

It may be a revelation to see what those 14 frames consist of.
