Peter, it's always amazing what you achieve from your old kit and out-of-date films.

Please let me challenge you Peter.
I have in front of me an unused 36 exposure boxed cassette of Ilford 35mm FP3 film dated 1952.
I would love someone to be able to use, develop and hopefully produce some nice prints from this film.
If you think it is within your capability to do this, please message me with your address and I will gladly post it to you free of charge to experiment with.
I sold off all my film processing and printing equipment a few years ago so I'm unable to make use of it myself but more than happy for some one else to try their hand and expertise with it.

What you need are lenses, more lenses, bigger lenses, better lenses, faster lenses, vintage lenses and when you have these, your pictures will be perfect!

Wow.....
So you'd have to rate it about 6 stops lower than the ISO.
So what will that be?!

I will do a 'short length clip test' and cut the film in a changing bag and see results in an 'estimated' developer time -- may use my Crawley's Formula FX-4 diluted 1+1

67 year old film that probably doubted ever seeing the light of day is now winging its way to you.
Curious to see how it shapes up!
