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...

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
