i felt clever this morning. last week i bought two packs of T72, expired in ´99..to find out, that they were totally dry. First i thought that i had wasted a lot of money on something, that could only be used as white postcards, but then i started tinkering..yesterday i thought of putting the sheet-film ( the part with the developer pods) into warm water for half an hour...stupid and useless idea.
then replaced the chemicals with the chemicals of my 679 4x5 colour packfilm...does´nt work at all.
but now i removed the chemical pod from an 667 exposure, and changed the chemical pod of the t72 for that. ( in my litle darkroom..but changing the chemicals alone is´nt that difficult...) and voila´! Now the T72 works again!
(And it leaves a "paper negative"...like the 667 / t57...something i did´nt have with my t52...only question is now...to coat or not to coat? ...time will tell, i guess.)
(next thing i´ll try is to use the chemicals of my (slightly cheaper) fuji fp 100B.)

i probably have to coat the pictures..looks like the surface is quite sensible..
