Response to Processing old super-xx 35mm film

Not sure what you'll get, and the processing should probably be adjusted to try and compensate for the age, but I do have a data sheet. Kodak suggested processing in full strength D-76 at 65F for 25 minutes with intermittant agitation, or 20 minutes with continuous agitation. That's not a typo- they wanted 65F, not 68F. Those numbers were also for a gamma of .8, quite high I think. The speed is listed at 400, but their exposure tables give quite a bit more exposure than the sunny 16 rule suggests. Maybe dense negs were in fashion back then, or the speed wasn't as high as claimed.
