Three rolls $7.00 each. Like I need more film, Heh-Heh.

Ideas and thoughts, Please?

Should be fine expired 2003.

That should be beautiful. I thought production ended earlier than that...somewhere in the 90s.

2003 should be ok but shadows might be a tad thin. You might in rease exposure a half stop to be ssafe. I bought some from the late 80's and it was fogged beyond use.

2003 is like fresh. This was expired 1982, and shot at ASA 100

1969 at ASA 64 had a lot of base fog and reticulation

Here's my expired-in-1982 VP. But its 127 format... It had been kept frozen, or so I am told. Its a LOT better than the expired-2010 Tri-X I shot recently which had been in the attic. It was noticeably fogged.

I used to shoot Verichrome Pan and it is a gorgeous film. I think D76 1+1 was the best developer for it.

Thanks Everybody! I have some new ideas, now. I'm going to shoot this little bit very carefully, probably rather slowly.

My Plaubel Makinas and Makiflexes are crying out for that unique Verichrome SMELL. Ahhhhhhhhhhh........

I've shot a few rolls of Verichrome Pan from the late 1960's and early 1970's. Here's a couple, both expired in 1969, shot @ ASA 25, developed in Rodinal for 20-50% over the recommended time:
