Expired Tmax P3200 (TMZ 3200) - a case for the dustbin?

[TimoS]

Having paused shooting film for several years, I discovered that I still have several rolls of TMAX P3200 film in my fridge. The films have an expiry date of 05/2002. Does it still make sense to use this film, or will results be so bad that it's not worth using it any more?

PS: The films have been stored in a fridge at ~ 6 deg C during the entire time.

They are probably perfectly all right to use, but you will not know for certain until you develop one of them.

I would do a clip test on the first few frames to see if any change to the development time is required.

Films are probably fine in cold store, use one and do a clip test the you adjust your dev time accordingly,Richard

Use them! And if you won't, then send them to me and I will. :D
