Just found some 9 year out of date Delta 100

In a box in my cellar. Shot a roll quickly, developed it in Pyrocat HD and...

it works - it's a wee bit grainier than it "should" be, and I did develop it at my regular time for this film N+1, and it's a little slow in the shadows. What do you think would you shoot the rest or just shoot fresh? I have about 10 rolls of 35mm.

Here is a shot from the roll I just blew through

Shoot it !! Looks beautiful.

(maybe rate it at 64-80 ?)

Definetly overexpose a bit. Pyro can handle the highlights being overexposed better than shadows underexposed.

Encouraging to know that the 5/6 year past expiry Delta 100 that someone gave me last weekend should be good. Not so sure about the similar aged Delta 3200 and solitary roll of Agfa Scala though.

Freeze it and shoot it, you will find the perfect subject to shoot with this film right after you toss it out.

The 3200 is almost definitely toast - I had some TMZ of the same vintage that I tried about a year ago and the fog was so dense, speed so low, and contrast nil - not worth the effort and definitely not pretty.
