I have 10 roles of exposed b&w film (Kodak Plus-X (ISO 125) and Kodak Tri-X/Ilford XP1/HP5 (ISO 400) from the late-1970's/early 1980's which have been stored in a cool, dry basement.

Is there a chance there will be viable images on the roles when I get them developed?

Thanks, John

It can be done probably best by "inspection" See if you can find a custom lab in your area or a keen amateur. If they are charging you it should be expensive. Where are you located.

  • \$\begingroup\$ The inspection method is a bit more complex. You're not just inserting the film into a development tank and than roll the development tank for a few minutes. You also have to use some extra chemical (desensitizer) which is expensive. So, I guess he really meant should be expensive :) \$\endgroup\$
