I suppose a lot of the things that I'm currently trying to sell fall into the "help me recover some money from my regrettable purchases" category. So...help me recover some money from this regrettable purchase!
This one is a bulk roll of HP5 Plus, expired in 2007. I would say that I've used approximately 40 frames worth of it for testing purposes, so it's not technically 100 feet. I bought it knowing that there was a high chance of base fog, and sadly that turned out to be the case. It's still definitely useable - just not in the way I personally want to use HP5 (i.e. pushed a lot). I would say that shooting at ISO 200 and developing for 400 is probably the way to get the best out of it. Higher speeds do work, but shadows start to get pretty grainy.
Here's a bit of it side-by-side with a fresh roll (the expired one is on top, in case you couldn't tell). I can post some actual scans when I get home tomorrow.
I guess I'd like to get $50 shipped for this, but I'm definitely up for a trade for any other film you have lying around that might be interesting!
