I don't have a strong preference, but what I saw (after sending the

I developed a few rolls of ~20 year old film a while back. I only tried
Rodinal and D-76. Hands down, Rodinal produced much less fog. The old
rolls of Plus-X, developed in Rodinal at standard times plus 10%, looked
as good as new. Tri-X showed some fog. I had one roll of HIE and it it
degraded
Hi All,
I discovered a few rolls of undeveloped BW film that are 20-some years
old that I shot in late 1980s.
I don't expect anything extremely valuable, but some shots might have
some sentimental value.
I wonder what would be the best way of trying to develop them.
(I don't have any equipment

It looks like Darin sent you a couple of the same links that i did. One
thing you might look into is anti fogging agents. Not sure where I'd
look them up, but a good public library might still have some books on
the esoterica of darkroom work.

Hi
You need to get a strip test done on each roll to establish the correct
processing. Pro labs used to do this, but are there any left?

It looks like AI still does snip tests:

AI was my lab of choice for slide film when I lived in LA. (I did my own BW.)
Rocky Mountain Film Lab is a name I've heard over the years for
developing old film, but I haven't used them:

There is an app for that. Seriously. I don't have it loaded anymore, but I did
at one point have an iPhone app that had development times etc for huge
varieties of film with many different chemicals. Once I realized how slim the
chances were that I might actually once again develop any film, it
Igor,
In your situation, I'd want a lab where I can talk to the technician
get a feel for if they're going to give the kind of custom service you
want (i.e. adjust the development time per the instructions on the box +
whatever accommodation they have to make for the film being old). For
me,
Thanks to everybody who responded with suggestions.
Darren and P.J., - thanks, - I had not known that resource, it's useful.
It looks like the optimum process for both films would be Rodinal.
Stan, - thanks, - but it looks like the information on the pages linked
