On Ilford's ID-11 packaging they quote :- "ID-11 powder in dry conditions will keep indefinitely"
I'd like to confirm this appears to be true

A 1 litre pack of ID-11 that had been stored "under the bed" for around 20 years was made up last December and is about to be discarded after successfully processing the recommended 10 36 exposure 35mm films, though I might try a couple of tests with some also very outdated roll film just to see how far it can be pushed and/or how badly the roll film has deteriorated.

I've been spending some time assessing the performance of a few old film cameras over the last three months and took the opportunity to test some old film that had also been stored under the bed, anticipating not very much in the way of results, but at least I'd know if the cameras and lenses worked!
Nevertheless, 20 year old Paterson Acupan 200, Phototech 100 and Ilford SFX have all proven to be perfectly useable, albeit with slight background fog, but Kodak TMax P3200 had deteriorated to virtually useless.
The cameras, a '64 Spotmatic, an Exa 1a of similar age, a Chinon CE-4, a Miranda Fv and my "one owner from new"
*ist have all proved perfectly reliable, used, where necessary, in conjunction with my Weston Master V light meter.
The waist-level viewfinders on the Exa and especially the Miranda proved to be a "refreshing" experience

Next up … a pack of Kodak D-76 of similar age and some Kodak HIE
