I have nothing else to say, I would like to get them developed. They may have pictures of my parents who are departed, my father over 18 years and my mother of 14 years.

I have various films, that I would like developed. I would like to know how much it would cost me, I don’t know if they are any good, they are old. Where do I take them to get them developed?

Hi–

I have about 40 (!) rolls of film, including nine rolls of old movie film, that I want to try getting developed. Some possibilities are Dwayne’s and Film Rescue International. Where did you go and did you get any results from yours? I didn’t see any mention of it on your site–sorry if I just didn’t see it!

I second that. Film is pretty durable stuff, and while it would be kinda foggy and low-contrast, I don’t think the ‘gelatin flaking off’ effect sounds like how I would expect old film to act. Doublecheck whether it’s C22 or C41 process.

Sounds like you had C-22 process film, developed incorrectly. I have seem the “Kringles potato chip effect” numerous times in the photo labs I worked at. Modern colour film process is C-41. I can’t believe there are still labs aroud processing C-22. Digital cameras have pretty much wiped out film all together.
I doubt whether you will get any images at all. Latent images (Images on exposed, undeveloped film) decay very rapidly.
Had I seen this posting earlier, I would have told you to save your money. Chances are you will get nothing…
