Expiry Dates? Pah!

As I mentioned in another thread, I recently discovered some 30 Acros Quickload negs, shot in 2010 but, as yet undeveloped.

I developed them in Ilford DD-X, of a similar vintage.

Here's one of them, taken in Huelgoat, Brittany.

Wow, I didn't know a latent image would last that long! Looks good to me.

Do a search for Vivian Maier. She left loads of undeveloped film, which was developed years after her death

A friend of mine prints Vivian Mayer's negatives in Toronto.

Latent images will last if a film is stored OK with one exception Pan F which certainly don't, you need to process within months, they won't last a year as I discovered leaving a film in a TLR.
