I'm gradually setting things up to get back into film processing again, after being out of it since dinosaurs walked the earth. While doing so, I've found some things on the shelf that are genuinely old, such as full and partial bottles of Rodinal that are likely over 30 years old. One of these bottles has a price tag of $4.99 on it. I also stumbled across some of the Zone VI film developer, as well, which appears to be unused. From what I've read on the forum, the unsealed Rodinal should still be good. I am not so confident regarding the partial bottle, and with the relatively cheap price for new, can't see that there's much point in giving it a try. Couple of questions here:
1. If the unsealed Rodinal is still good, is the shelf life when opened likely to be shorter than normal?
2. Anyone have any experience with the Zone VI film developer?
Thanks,
Ed
