Super-XX expiry

Recommended Posts

I have the option of buying some Super-XX film that expired in 1985. How much

would this film have deteriorated by now? It was stored in a cool environment

for the entire time. Would it still be worthwhile to purchase this film in the

4x5 size or would the outdatedness completely ruin all of the good points of

Super-XX film. Thanks.

I had someone on here be nice and give me some negs of this film. It was dated from the 70s I was told, maybe mid 80s. Anyway it was kept frozen the whole time and I got usable results from it shot at 100ISO. It still may be usable. What is for sure is this film is unique.

As long as the film is still in a sealed foil pouch inside the box, then you should get

acceptable results. If you are contact printing, the grain is of no concern. SuperXX has

very nice tones. I recently opened a package of 11x14 superXX from 1982, and it is just

fine. I use HC-110b in trays for that size. Kodaks HC-110 developer is known as a very

clean working developer that minimizes age fog.
