OT: help with old Disc films
Hi, Remember the argument against digital which said that in 20 years, nobody would be able to read the images ;-) Over the Christmas, I unearthed three old disc films (One Fuji, two Kodak), which had been taken sometime in the mid 1980's, and then left undeveloped. As they were stored in a cool dark environment inside their cases, I guess there's still something left on them A quick trip around the local photo processors lead to some humourous, but not very useful exchanges. It seems that disc fim predates the staff in most 1-hour shops -- one told me first that they don't print from digital ;-). As it's C41 film, I don't think the development is the problem, just finding someone with a printer which still accepts the disc films. Anyway, if anyone knows any way to recover the pictures from these three films, I would be very grateful. -- Kristian - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

He will have to find a lab that still has the hardware needed to print the stuff, and is willing to do a special set up for a couple of films. This is providing he can find a dip and dunk lab willing to attempt processing.

Re: OT: help with old Disc films
It seems that the march of progress has left Disc film behind (some might say with good reason)... I reckon that because it's just C-41, a mini-lab with a set of tanks should be able to do the developing. That leaves me with the more difficult problem of finding somewhere that can print from a disc film... Maybe I should try Kodak themselves, as it was their bright idea in the first place... -- Kristian On Tuesday, January 1, 2002, at 01:55 am, Rob Studdert wrote: Hmm, I agree, I missed the undeveloped bit :-( - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Unfortunately, it is not that simple. Minilab C-41 machines are designed to process roll film, and that is all they can do. Kodak no longer supports the disc format.
