Sometime last summer I picked up a Nikon Ftn kit at a garage sale for a song. As I was stuffing it all into a bag on my bike, the seller pulled a box from a garage shelf and said, "oh, take this, you might want it."
It contained ~50 rolls of really, really expired 120 and 220. Ektachrome 64, tri-x, some sort of '70s technical film, and a bunch of rolls of tmax 400, all stored in rather adverse conditions.
The only problem is, I have no clue how old any of the tmax is. Everything is unboxed, and none of the wrappers have expiration dates. I burned a roll in my Super 23 and plan to give developing in d76 a whirl tonight. Any way I can figure out roughly how long expired this stuff is? Or roughly the time period that kodak used this packaging/backing paper? '80s?
