Developing a 45 year old roll of "found film"

IG: @expiredbren
In this video I decided to develop some film that I found in an time capsule darkroom from the 1960s. I used HC-110 Dilution B to develop these rolls of 120 Plus-X Pan and 620 Verichrome Pan and the results were quite interesting!

    It’s incredible how well they turned out given the amount of time they have been sitting there

    Amazing! This pile of old paper is just gorgeous. If it is fogged you might use it for lith-printing These found films are just fun to develop

    Lith printing would be great to try with some of this paper! So far most of the paper has been reasonably unfogged

    @@ExpiredBren These old papers, particularly the Agfa in my experience, survive well for decades if stored in cooler locations, like basements. They loose a bit of contrast. If they fog the white image areas, you can compensate by adding a small amount of potassium bromide to your developer. Check on line for ratios/formulas for that.

    B&W film can be crazy that way! In my video ‘How Collecting Found Film Improved My Photography’ I get some even crazier results with a roll of film exposed in the 70s.

    Those snap cap 35mm cartridges are the best for reloading, and not available anymore. Great find there.

    Nicely done! I Recently purchased an Ansco Isolette camera which had a roll of C-22 color film in it. There were 10 out of 12 shots that came out fairly well using B&W developer. It was pretty exciting. Shots of people visiting at Gettysburg Battlefield memorials and other shots of people.

    - Knowing 620 is the same as 120 in terms of the film strip, why the question about how to develop it differently? - I still would try to scan the second roll. Often the scanner captures some faint images our eyes don't see. With digital enchancement that faint image can be made to something usable up to decent. - I guess the 620 roll was the older one. The bigger image size (6x9 cm?) could speak for that. - Why give the prints back to the previous owner? So he could put them out the curb or throw away? If he had any interest in them, he would not have sold them. - Is the music from the Rockford Files?

    You did a good job. We don't always win with the old film. Maybe sometime try Diafine developer. Just a hint.
