Devloping an old 110 cartridge film

[chris.bishop]

I have found an old camera with a 110 cartridge film in it but can't fin anywhere that will develop it! Any ideas?

have you tried boots?

I was in the same boat last year. I trawled around the high street and the only place i know for sure that will develop them is Jessops.
If you don't have a local branch, look up their website and you can post it to them.
(Boots won't develop them - I asked).

Last May, Jessops were still offering this service. They have to send it off, and will probably tell you it'll take up to a month. (It won't). Cost was very reasonable.

I tried Jessops and they have stopped doing them! I will have a go at my local Boots. Thank you

If you've no luck, maybe you could contact a local photographic club. Some of the old-timers might have the neans to develop it for you.

Processing 110 film is a specialist job. The chemicals are the same as those used for modern films (i.e.it's a 'C41' process) but the work normally has to be done by hand because modern machinery can't handle the film.

Some firms will charge around �20 per film. e.g. see here:

This firm is more reasonable, at a tenner per film:

You should note that C41 films often show a strong colour cast if they're not processed promptly after being exposed. The results you'll get might be far from perfect. (If the prints you get are strongly tinted blue or red, get someone with Photoshop to scan them, with a view to improving the colour rendition).
