Developing old film.

I had some catching up to do with regard to developing some films.

I had 2 expired rolls of Tmax 100 (old 5052 from a bulk loader) and one neopan 1600 fresh. Both developed in hc110 (68 degrees) for the times listed on the mass dev, both happen to be 7min but I developed each in their own tanks.

The Tmax came out thin, but the neopan came out spot on. When I looked up thin negatives, posts on photo.net say it's from underexposure or underdevelopment. I'm guessing I should have developed the tmax 100 for slightly longer or used a higher EI? I'm not really sure. I'll have to figure that out. (btw, it was the same camera for both films). Unless you want to tell me something I'm missing

Finally, how do you develop your expired film? What kinds of things do you do to compensate?
