A photographer who is retiring gave me a 100 sheet box of 4x5 Ilford HP5 Plus.
The batch number on the box is: 25DHK1X03/1-7
Can anyone decode that batch number and tell me when the film was made?
Since I don't know when the film was made or how it was stored I just loaded six sheet film holders to shoot some tests. I think I will expose the tests for ISO 400, 320 and 200. Then I will develop them in good old D76 1:1. However, if any experts out there think I should use HC110, I just bought a bottle so could use that.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks.
