I was given two boxes of film as a freebie after doing a photo shoot for the school paper at a local thrift store. This film expired in 1970. The Tri-X is a 20 roll at 400, and the Plus-X is a 36 rated at 125. Considering the cosmetic condition of the boxes, this film seems to have been stored in pretty darn good condition, although there's no way to tell if it was in a hot room or not. I've heard a rule of thumb that film loses a stop for each decade it sits around. I've shot some expired color Kodak from the 90s and it seems to hold true. Does anyone have suggestions? Should I bracket a few test shots and snip them off the roll, or should I shoot it a few stops slower and use stand development in Rodinal?
