I have a bunch of this. I wonder what it would like exposed and developed?
Any guesses?

fogged and not good looking... i dunno a vague post like this needs more details
I have:
Kodak Trix-X 1944
Ansco Super Pan 1952
Ansco Super Plenachrome 1945
Kodal Ortho Portrait 1940
Obviously, nobody would expect this to be usable but, but, rather than try to use it and develop it to see for myself, I was wondering if anyone else had actually did this and exactly HOW bad was it?
I've exposed and developed lots of old film, and most of it fit Heespharm's description. I'd have the most hope for the Ortho Portrait, even though it's the oldest of the bunch. I'd stick with a non-fogging developer, like HC110 or Rodinal.
What size are these filums? If 8x10, can you put a sheet in with the negs you are returning...just kidding...let us know - no harm in trying one to see...
When I was 16 I thought my father the stupidest man in the world; when I reached 21, I was astounded by how much he had learned in just 5 years!
-appropriated from Mark Twain
years ago, I bought a WW2 gun camera, and tried to develop the 16mm cassette of DuPont film enclosed. It was almost completely fogged, except for - one frame, completely blank ??? Maybe it was an atom bomb camera?
I developed a roll of Ansco Plenichrome from 1948 that came in a Zeiss Super Ikonta I got off ebay not too long ago... Developed it in Barry's two bath for about 10 minutes each. There were still images on the film...looked like a farm. They're a bit fogged, but I think they'll print. I was pretty impressed!
that is old for azo lol
I'd shoot it at like 3
add in like 15ml orthazite anti-fog or less if pure benzotriazole
develop in like xtol or whatever
for like 16 min
over on apug there is a little thread titled film archaeology or something by david goldfarb
i think ektapan from 50's
that would be pretty close and the results werent bad
depends on storage
But not actually shoot at 3 and not actually use 15ml of anti-fog and not actually use Xtol, since the developer doesn't matter since "whatever" developer is an equally good choice, and then develop for some time that's not actually 16 minutes?
Dude. Like, seriously.
