Just bought a used photo bag with four rolls of Tri-X 400 dated 2/05. Still usable? What can I expect for results? Any changes recommended for shutter speed? Aperture?
Thanks!

It is still good unless it was stored in a hot humid place for a time.

It will be just fine, unless it has been 'stored' in a very warm place. Use and process as normal.
I recently used a roll with expiry from 1989. It was on someone's desk for a decade. Ok, it was grainy and a bit foggy, but the negs are perfectely usable.

I agree with the others - as long as it hasn't been stored somewhere excessively warm it should be good for a few more years yet. I'd shoot and process one roll as normal and see how it turns out.

well, if it was in a bag when you bought it, who knows how it was stored, right? Perhaps add 1/3 to 2/3 of a stop during exposure to deal with possible base fog increase. IMO.
