Lofts are generally bad places for film. Large temperature swings and in summer very high temperatures (unless you have very good insulation below the tiles). Film emulsion doesn't take kindly to that.Dug out some film cameras this week and some Tri-X that has been in the loft for 3 years, it should still be good to go

Ah, OK. You obviously bought the lnvincibility Special Edition version...But its Tri-X, it will be fine
Which is nonsense as it's not all that difficultThere is that.....
I will admit to a bit of exposure adjustment in Lightroom but learning how to set the white balance properly on a camera makes a massive difference

I will need some more fixer though
Nothing like "fixing" then washing and the lot disappears
Never had that if im honest, I ended up with a setup and was able to develop colour and slide film
I tried things like mono bath developing and colour film acceleration. All good fun
It's my brother that does it, I've never been that interested in film.
He's got a pretty decent enlarger and interesting chemical stash
I used to spend hours taking photos but lost interest, I think partly because no-one understands what getting it right on camera means. I am a snob and seeing a DSLR set to auto makes me wonder why bother with an SLR
Anything you like. Results vary, but if it's less than ten years old, shoot it at label speed.I found some 120 roll film too, whats its life span?
I naively assumed you were using film because you actually like the medium, not as a premature ageing experiment. I'd be concerned that if I came up with an image I really liked then the quality wouldn't be up to par. But I guess you're deliberately aiming for lo-fi?I think you are missing the point. I will also be developing it in 10 year old Rodinol
If I wanted perfect shots I'd use a DSLR or new film. I will need some more fixer though

10 year old Rodinol will be fine even if it is the colour of Ribena, I rather like Rodinol 1:100 and stand dev for a hour.I think you are missing the point. I will also be developing it in 10 year old Rodinol
I love film as well and am a comparative late-comer to digital, but my aim was always to try and squeeze the best quality I could out of the medium, so it's a bit disconcerting when I see someone deliberately using aged stock. But as you say, it will be interesting to see the results. I have a small stock of unexposed B/W (FP4) and colour (Fuji Velvia, Ektachrome) film that have been kept refrigerated for the last 15-20 years. I guess I should try them out and see what gives. I also have two rolls of B/W infra-red film. I think they will get used when the spring foliage arrives.I love film, I always have but photography is not always about the perfect shot. That is sometimes the aim but its about having fun and seeing what you can achieve
I love using Rollei Retro and Rodinol for some super grainy shots, I also love using HP5 and getting perfect shots
Ive just found my Ondu pinhole camera, 120 film and looks to be half used, that will be fun to finish and develop
