Sources for developing 35mm film

[blueeagle65]

We have discovered several rolls of Kodak 'advantix' film (not 35 mm) from long ago that, from the indicators on the canisters, have yet to be developed. Does anyone have first hand knowledge of a source that will develop our film and return either hard copy prints or JPG's? The big box retailers and drug stores don't seem to be in the business any more. Thanks in advance for the benefits of your experience.

wow....this may like looking for a needle in a haystack

no first hand experience, as we switched from film decades ago....however if it were me, I'd get in touch with Kodak HQ...they may know of someone that still does it

A quick Google search for "Kodak 'advantix' film" pops up a number of firms who claim to be able to process this into either prints or digital image files. Unfortunately they all require you to mail in your film, and I haven't dealt with any of them and so can't make any recommendations. Good luck though.

I’m guessing but there must be at least couple dozen photography clubs in TV. Stop by one of the meetings.

They should be able to answer your question.

These three Walgreens indicate they have a photo lab, and even if they don't, they can send it out to a third party and have back in 3 to 5 days.

As I mentioned and complimented John in a previous post he really posts very terrific post. Along with the 2 plane guy Goldwing .

Thanks John:)

Years ago there was a firm, Seattle Film Works that I used for years with excellent results, if this is one of the mail-in firms I would trust them.

Google for a dedicated camera store. Not a drugstore. Im sure they will develop it or send it out to be done.

CVS still advertises on their site, that they develop 35mm film.

Yesterday-Wednesday daily sun had an ad for a company transferring film. My paper ruined or I would have more info

[dennisgavin]

cold war spy shots or pictures of aunt Maty and uncle John, you gotta let us know! ;o)

[collie1228]

I recently found several rolls of exposed 125 film and one 35mm Ektachrome roll, and found a company on the West Coast, The Darkroom, to develop it. It was very expensive and most of the film was beyond saving, but they got it done in a couple weeks. Check thedarkroom.com for details.

I just had 42 rolls of 35 mm film canisters development at CVS. I did exhaustive research and it was easy as ever.

That's probably Video Vault in Belleview that Redfly mentioned earlier, they advertise quite often. I was going to mention their name myself, but they seem to specialize more in transferring old VHS tapes, 35mm film and turning out digital media of the old product. I don't remember ever seeing the words film developing. They also want only large amounts, I was going to take about 20 slides to them, but their rates are usually for large jobs.

It only takes a phone call to find out.

Last year we developed several old rolls from 18 years ago. Walgreens has a service they use and you can get prints. Not cheap, but all photos were clear and good color, amazing!

Went to safari on I phone found 3 places. Whenever I’m looking for something I just aske where I can find it near villages

[blueeagle65]

Upon checking with them, they don't even have the envelopes to submit the film for processing.

[robertj1954]

Film that has been exposed has a expiration. It’s based upon conditions it was stored. If it was exposed to high temperatures humidity chances are it will be fogged. If that is the case images will not be ideal. But if there are memories on them from decades ago it might be worth a try. http://https://www.cvs.com/photo/film-processing. The link is to CVS Photo they do film processing.

[PamFalkenstein]

Contact Kodak in Rochester.

Walgreens on Burnsed Blvd has processed for me in the past 30 days. Walmart has a drop box too but service is not as fast. Personally I think film gives better pictures but that day is gone.

We have a slide to computer product, I don't think my husband would let it out of the house. He's not home now but he might be willing to do it. send me a pm. also the photography club may be able to do it.:MOJE_whot:

[bpascani]

Yes, there is at least one TheVillagesPhotoClub.org. Under contact,you can send your question/request. Richard Kozak was president 2018-2019. Also John Spoltore is a photography teacher in TV, and he may have leads/info that would help. His name is John Spoltore (folks call him Swede) His ctc info is 352 661 3615 or swedephoto.com

Thanks for the offer, but I actually got a decent image just by using my scanner. This is one of them of them I did a couple of months ago from an old slide that wasn't very well taken care of. Here I am at 20, I'm now 70.

CVS doesn't have the envelopes required to submit the film for processing and don't know if/when they'll get more.

[Bay Kid]

I have 2 rolls. Often wonder what is on them?
