Trying to date Plus-X Pan film

[Brian Legge]

I recently picked up a bunch of 120 film from a photographer cleaning his fridge. Most of the film I purchased from him expired sometime between the 60s-80s, though some of it goes back further.

There are several rolls of Plus-X Pan but I don't have any date information. Anyone want to hazard a guess on age or when it might've expired? Perhaps someone is familiar with the packaging?:

I shot a roll over the weekend and am drying it tonight. I shot it at ISO 50 thinking that, given the age, I should increase the exposure. Glancing at the results informally, I think that may have been excessive. We'll see in the morning.

Cant help with age.. but that Royal X-Pan has me drooling.

Haven't seen any royal pan around in a long time in 120.

The PlusX is from the mid to late 60's as is the Ektacolor S and the Vericolor II is from the 80's.

I see you have some 620 in there too, as well as some Kodacolour X (C22 process).

Have fun!

if it is all about the same age, the transition from Kodacolor-X to Kodacolor-II happened in the 1970's. The Plastic bags the film is in have the "serif" style Kodak Logo, not the "big K" logo or the current san-seirf logo. The Big K also came out in the 1970 era.
