A while ago I posted that I had found a bulk loader full of 35mm Kodak Recording film, that had been stored at room temperature. I was going to pitch it, but some forum members said to "give it a whirl."
So I did. I developed the first batch in Rodinal, 1:32 for 11 minutes, at ISO 600. The results are posted below. I was told that this isn't the best developer for the film, and then I tried D76 1:1, but I haven't printed those yet. The negatives are, though, much better, as I was told they'd be. They were exposed at ASA 400. I'll post the new shots in this thread when I do those.
The final step is to shorten the developing times, as was also suggested, and I'll lower the ASA to 200. Whatever the case, I'm getting printable results, and they're not half bad . . . and another bonus is I've found an entire bulk roll of 2475 IN MY FREEZER, at the very bottom, wrapped in a black plastic bag. Who says there's no God?
These are scanned 5x7 prints, made on Arista glossy grade 3. When I scanned the prints, all I did in my photo program was a bit of dust spotting, and using curves to up the contrast to what I figured would be grade 4 paper - a marginal boost. That's it . . . no massive photoshopping at all.
I'd like to thank all the guys who contributed to my original thread. I'm learning a lot from this forum!!!!
