Speaking of film...recommendations for developing old film...

Greetings all...it's been some time. I've switched to the dark side (Don't tell MDJAK :P )...but I do kind of lurk from time to time...this has always been a favorite photo forum. The ****onians are a bit full of themselves sometimes :P

So...I have a couple of clients who I have done photo restorations for, asking where they can get some old 35mm film developed.

I have a local place that might do it, but I'm really not wanting to contact them except as a last, and final resort

So...are there any reputable labs left that can handle 35mm film that has been sitting around for years?

Hope all be doing well!

What kind of 35mm film?

Color or B&W? Speed? Pushed? About how old?

If B&W no matter age, speed or pushed I would suggest stand development. If you scan it to make digital prints from the film there is no downside to this. http://jbhildebrand.co​m …development-with-rodinal/

It was not mentioned what kind of film...

Thanks for the link. I am not looking to do this myself; I have not touched a wet darkroom in many, many moons

The Darkroom is great, also Old School Photo Lab.


Film is alive and well, tons of labs left.

I do self developing at home and I've shot and developed film that expired before I was even born. Came out looking like new.

Thank you!

If you pay me enough, I could do it for you!!!!! Color and BW too!!!! Yeah, I could do it but you can rely on several online film developing companies. This is the one I used in the past before I know how to develop my own....

Darkroom.com is good too. Again, these are old film and so the result may not be as expected..like fading colors and fogging...
