Developing old disposable cameras

[egomeister]

I've rediscovered a couple of old, partially used, disposable cameras from about 15 years ago.

Does anyone know whether these will still develop ok, and where I might be able to send them to get it done?

Does your local Asda have a photoshop?

[Mr Will]

Plenty of labs about that will still do them. If there is anything special on them then it might be worth sending them somewhere that can "push" the film a little to make up for the age but you'll get images from them even if you just drop them off at boots/adsa/etc

Fair enough, I didn't know if the age meant it needed a bit more care and attention. I'll have a look what local options I have - no Asda here but I think the local Boots still develops photos.

Am I best off running through the rest of the film before taking it to them?

Yes - if only so you get the traditional few pictures of your dog or the garden that people used to use the last couple of frames of a roll of film for!

I have found a couple of half used disposable cameras when clearing out some of my dead mother's stuff.

I want to get them developed but I am worried what might be on them!

Do it, or you'll die never knowing.

No garden pics... it looks like the thing is totally dead and won't advance to the next frame

I'll just have to get it developed as is!
