Question 1

Can I bring in some very old rolls of film?

Cusi Taylor · Accepted Answer

Certainly! We can develop most types of old black and white film, as well as C-41 / CN-16 color film. Heat and moisture can particularly degrade the quality of undeveloped film, but if the film has been stored in a very cool, dry place; we are often able to recover photos. Even when stored carefully, the colors do shift over time, contrast and sharpness reduces, and fogginess increases. For these reasons; we recommend choosing the "Develop Only" film service option. That way you're not paying to scan or print any frames that may not come out in the developing process.
