Found one roll of Plus-X expired 3/78

[wolfpeterson]

It was stored in a dank basement for most of its existence, but it was in its box and canister.

Should I compensate exposure when shooting?

I will most likely develop in D-76. Should I dilute it to get longer development times?

Any advice is welcome. As long as it isn't "throw that out!". 😀

I have no idea how to expose it, I would think overexposure is necessary, or over development... But speaking strictly as a dumb amateur I say definitely shoot it!!!

You know, just for fun.

Ummm, Dark, Dank, Humid... May have mold on it.....
Put in a camera that is not valuable, just in case is has mold spores on it.
I'd expose at ISO 64/50. Just in case the emulsion has broken down a little and needs more time to record an image...
my guess...

Brian will chime I'm sure and give us the "poop" on what might have happened to the emulsion chemistry sitting that long in damp external conditions.
