right ok i know this is a long shot i have a 35mm film roll from a camera, the film roll is full an full rewound back into the canister an has probably been like that for about 10 years or so (i found it when i was doing a sort of my clutter) is it worth it trying to get it developed or will the pictures if there are any be ruined?

fanks all!

    Assuming you can get it processed for less than a tenner, I'd go for it. I doubt they'll be untouched, but if it's something of sentimental value, even a faded picture might be worth it. Do you have any idea what is on it

  • Depends how good the film you used was, if it was a good quality film you've got no chance, cheap stuff may well be OK.

    If the police are waiting there when you go to collect it, walk straight past and keep looking ahead.....

    Yup, the polaroid was invented only for mucky pictures! I have been caught out with 35mm film before - "I'm afraid sir that we were unable to develop some of the photographs as they were not appropriate for our staff" :oops: :oops:
