So I loaded some holders yesterday with this 8x10 Versapan that's been sitting around for who-knows-how-long... I ran 5 sheets, rated them at 125 (box speed), 60 (where 1/2 box speed would be my normal exposure mode), 30 and 15. I did a 5-step step-wedge on the 5th negative, the lowest ISO being 7.5.
I processed in PMK @ 75 deg. f @ 12 minutes.
The incredible thing is that there is hardly any discernable age fog. Aside from the significantly reduced sensitivity (15 seems to give me the best neg...), the negatives look amazingly well for film that is at least 30 years old.
This film will be fun to use. I have quite a bit of it.
