So a friend of mine asked me to develop his roll of Fomapan 100. Sure, no problem. But, when I asked did he shot it as box speed, or maybe he pushed it, I got an answer I wasn't prepared for - "I don't remember anymore, a bit under 100, probably 80".

And now I'm sitting here, not having a clue how to develop it - thinking about Rodinal 1+50 at 7 min straight, and hope for the best. 🤔

Anyone develop their own 35mm film and can give advice on longevity of chemicals? I've seen some people saying they degrade after a couple of weeks, some people saying months, one person doing a successful test with 30 month old chemicals, etc. Place I got the stuff from doesn't say anything about expiry - is it just something that older chemicals suffered?

Last used mine in April 2023 - within 30 months but obviously a lot longer than "weeks"! Worth a go or should I just accumulate more films until I can do 10-12 films in one go with fresh chemicals?
