Reply to comment by GM_Pax in Can Boston help me develop a roll of film from the 30s for my grandfather? by twerkitout

Fair point! Honestly I expect to sink a bunch of money into this and get nothing 😂 but I want to try anyway while he is still around to share it with. If nothing else it’ll be a fun story - he would love to see me go thru a bunch of effort to be sentimental for an empty roll! Worth the risk haha

Oh, absolutely definitely do that!! :) I just didn't want you to go in expecting a perfectly crisp and clear result, then be disappointed with what you got. :)

Edit to add: also, you might get really lucky and have large sections, maybe even most of the film, come out pretty damned well despite the almost-a-century sitting in the camera.

This comment made me smile. I can picture my grandpa laughing at me for doing the same thing. Mine is gone now…this’ll be worth double whatever you have to go through to do it.
