I found a large number of rolls from years ago when my kids were small and would like to see if I can salvage anything. Didn't have the money then to get them developed. Probably still don't!! LOL!! Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Jim Hi Jim, It would help if you'd tell us exactly what kind of film types we're talking about and roughly when years ago was. (Like 5, 10, 20, 30, or 50 years ago...) (If they are a bit old but still use developing processes in use today, there will be many places you can get them processed. If not you may have to look further.) Btw. I'm no expert on this, why someone else will have to step in to give you better advice. Good luck! Lasse
Re: OLD Film needs developing
If it's 35mm film, you can take it to any decent lab. If it's ssomething odd like 127 or 126, you'll have to find a lab that specializes in processing old film types. I would search the web. If it's black and white film, I'd ask the lab to push it one stop (overdevelop it). If it's color, I'd proabably take my chances with normal processing. I tried developing a fifty year old roll of verichrome pan 120 that was probably exposed. It turned out to be completely black, but for all I know the camera might have been opened at some time. Good luck. Paul Does anyone know where I can get some really old exposed film developed to see if any pictures survived?

Good luck. Paul Actually if it's color print film you need to determine if it's C-22 or C-41 process. If it's c-41 you can try bringing it to any lab. If it's slide film (Ektachrome) you need to determine if it is E-2, E-3, E-4, or E-6. E-6 is the current process. Kodachrome current process is K-14. If it's a current film you can bring it to a lab that does that type of processing. If it's an older film you can try Rocky Mountain film labs in Colorado. BW should be developable by any good BW lab. MY best guess is that any of the older color process films will have lost any latent image by now. The BW is definitely worth a try. Butch
