Processing old film (1 Viewer)

[sarah]

Hey just realised a instamatic camera I picked up ages ago had a roll of film in it!

Exciting.

from what I can gather I think it's 126 film... doesn't say on the cartridge,
but it does say C41 process. Is that just the bog standard colour process

can I just throw this into any camera shop or does it have to go to a specialist place?

I see a couple of online places mentioning that type of film specifically.

Fanks!

Try Gunns on camden street. If John Gunn can't do it he'll know who can. If not I can destroy the container and process the film inside in college for you. No garuntee that'll work though.

Gunns could do it, 10er for just the negatives, would've been 30 to print em up,
probably all be faded to nothing... we shall see.

I found a spool of film from an instamatic camera a couple of years ago, had no Idea what was on it, turns out it was photo's I took when I was away in the gualtacht (sp?) with my school when I was about 11.

The photo's turned out perfect even thought the film was a couple of decades old.

It was freaky.

When you were 11?
photos perfect?

I have high hopes now, cause that must have been well in the olden days, when you were a nipper that is.

I found a roll of that film but my local place in Swords couldn't process it, it's still lying around somewhere.

a few years ago, john gunn gave me three rolls of orwo 80 with a BBE date of jan 1973. they'd lost a couple of stops but were otherwise fine.
