Wow...1978 Tri-X? Not bad! Could you tell us how this film was stored?

Seems like I post mine about once per month to address "expired film" questions...but here it is again! At any rate, here is an 11x14 contact print from a recently processed Try-X negative - exp. date 1988 - with film being kept for two thirds of its life in an attic which got pretty darn hot during the summer months! Yup...a bit of base fog for sure - which can actually be useful at times!

I picked up a factory sealed 100 sheet box from a member here for 50$. I ran some tests and started shooting it rated at iso 64. I have no idea how it was stored but, I used every bit of it. Drum developed in one shot D-76 for 11 minutes.

Past Imperfect #7

Gelatin-silver photograph on Ultrafine Silver Eagle VC FB photographic paper, image size 16.4cm X 21.3cm, from a 4x5 Tri-X Pan Professional negative
exposed in a Tachihara 45GF double extension field view camera fitted with a 150mm f4 Wollaston Meniscus soft-focus lens and a #25 red filter.

My photographer friend died after a long long illness and some of his equipment passed into my hands. There were many film holders that he had loaded with Tri-X fifteen years previously
but could not get to use. The film had corroded through the passage of years but I took it to those places we had walked with our cameras in times past and made some exposures

Here's my entry showcasing some Fuji NPS 160 that expired in 1997 and was shot back in October 2020. This portrait is of my girlfriend's dad outside his home during Covid-19. He thinks I'm hilarious because whether it's a 110 camera or in this case my Crown Graphic I'm always taking photos. We go on walks near his home and he's always laughing when I'm taking nature photos. I made this photo and i think he puts up with me a little bit more now. Hah!

I pushed it a stop in camera and developed as normal in Cinestill C-41 (powder version) Here you can see before and after digital color correction. Once I get my darkroom set up, I'm going to see if it's salvageable there too. This is one of my favorite portraits.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210407/a0c704424d3473576c0beee8ef73c76b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210407/9aaf0c0f0ef88a6da89d0c9584d0c188.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210407/3e6a1338648c6b23f9a0498ac31cab91.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210407/588643314d0f9b3db2733d041506541e.jpg

This was shot on Fuji NPS 160 with an expiration date of 2003. I don't know when it was taken, but it was more than 5 years ago. The exposed negative was sitting in a box until today, when I processed it with chemicals that I bought well over 5 years ago.
