- I decided to test a film that expired 50 years ago. Kodak Verichrome Pan is one of those films that many old photographers would like to see on the shelves again.
Kodak managed to bring to this film a rich tonal range and very fine grain that few modern films can match. Unfortunately, the film stopped being manufactured in the late 90s.
The one I received expired in 1975. So the calculation I made was to subtract two stops and when developing the film push it up 3 stops, even knowing that the grain will be more evident. This choice was because of the ISO of the film, which is originally ISO 100. So, shooting at ISO 25 is the maximum limit for me to get enough light at speeds that would not make my photos blurry.
Another important point regarding this film I received is that the film is 127. In this case, I was able to use my Yashica 44 camera, which is one of my favorite cameras. It is very light to carry around when shooting with a TLR. The developer I used was Cinestill DF96 Monobath. To push it three stops, I heated the chemical to 100ºF, according to the manual. To heat the developer, I used a sous vide device, always monitoring the temperature with a spare thermometer.
The results were as expected. Very present grain, but with a wonderful personality.
Unfortunately, the ink from the paper leaked into the film. This is a risk we always have when using medium format films that have been expired for many decades.
At the same time, the images reveal everything that a panchromatic film can offer: extremely fine grain, wide exposure latitude, very high sharpness and high resolution power.

@@darthroman98 Thank you my friend!
I think the ink from the paper adds to it!
It's a veil because the film is old... but where are the inscriptions showing the difference on the veil...
Congrats on processing the roll.

When developing the Film, Take a
Off the paper
The veil of old film is partly due to the natural radiation that the film receives, when within the validity period and well stored this effect is minimized and does not make a difference, but when it is poorly stored and or after the validity period where the preservation chemicals are no longer effective, the veil ends up appearing, the dark ink on the paper acts as a protection that ends up acting as a mask, where the rest of the film forms a veil and there it does not.
