I went to inspect a collection of musty camera oddments today and found this little gem in the bottom of a case.
Handwritten on the box is " use before March '63"
Usable, do you think?

Oldhand,
Dunno, maybe it's a casual discovery intended to make you try large format film.
I would try starting at 1/3 the speed rated or less. The HP3 is rated at box ISO200, I would start with ISO 64...

Enjoy,

H'mm if you did use it, I'm under the impression that Australia is not the easiest place to get film dev....and probably expensive.

Thanks Renato - you may be right about that.
Yes Excalibur, development of film is an issue in Australia.
If I can find some ID-11 or Microphen I would do it myself.
The prospect of getting back into film is exciting
