Any good labs to develop VERY old 110 film????

[SrisonS]

I have some 110 speed film from about 15 years ago (from my first camera when I was young). Are there any good labs I can use to maybe get these developed??? I'm not putting too much hope that many (or any) of the pictures will come out. But I'd still like to give it a shot.

And no, I didn't necessarily store them well. They were always either in a drawer, or just a random box.

Thanks for any input.

You can ask at traditional places like Walgreens or Walmart. Be sure to see them look it up in a catalog of special order services where 110 film is mentioned.

If that fails, ask at a "real" camera store like Ritz. They should have connections to labs that handle this now obsolete film size. If you don't mind sending it away to a store that in turn will send it away, a big name mail order camera store like B&H Photo Video (New York City) may be able to help.

The 110 film itself is 16mm wide but is (most brands) developed in the same chemicals as today's 35mm film of the same kind. The problem is that the film is too narrow to go through the same machinery used for 35mm film.

I'm told that there is only one lab in the U.S. that still develops Kodachrome.

Don't take your old camera to shoot off unused 15 year old film. Film is cheap. Recreating memories is expensive.

Thanks for the advice. I might look into B&H first, before trying Ritz, then maybe Wal-Mart or something. And don't worry... I'm not going anywhere near old film. I don't still have that camera anyway. Just came across the old used film last night, when doing some cleaning.

Dwayne's Photo was highly recommended to me by some folks on Nikon Cafe I trust. I have some 120 slide film I am about to send them.
