Greetings everyone-
does anyone have any suggestions or advise on how to get the best results from some seriously outdated black and white sheet film...
11X14 Ektapan dated 05/1994
12X20 Tri-X dated 11/2002
Both boxes were in my basement which is fairly cool and dry. Should I be increasing exposure slightly to add density to the negative or increase aggatation during processing to bump up the contrast? I don't want to waste the film, and I will have a good idea of the films condition after I process the first sheets. But if there are any techniques I can use to get the most from the film, I would appreciate it. Also, any thoughts on Bergger film? I hear good things about this film, but have never use it. I also went on the J&C website in search of classic 200. Now that they are closed, is there any other source for this film in 12X20 size? Thanks for any and all help on these questions, and happy 4th of July!
