black and white photo development


I found an old roll of black and white film (10 years old). I would like to get it developed. Would regular developing place work, or is there somewhere special I should take it to try and get photos out?

  Depends on the make/type of black & white film. Ilford (SFX-400?) and Kodak (BW400CN and other names) both made a C-41 process b&w film that was processed in the same chemicals as color print film. Otherwise, traditional black and white films (Kodak T-MAX, Tri-X, Plus-X etc.) have a specific chemical process that you either do your self or find a specialty lab that will do it.

  Hi, I had this done for someone...it was color film "disc" from the 80's ..
just do a "google" search for

FILM RESCUE ...

I think they would do color / Black and white...they did a good job; not expensive...call/ they're very nice.
