Long story short, Ive found a disposable camera from probably around 2003 or 2004 :eek: thats I took with me when I probably first evar!1!!1 drove the Evo Triangle & clocked up over 700 miles of Snowdonia & North Wales passes back then...

Anyway, would I still be able to get it developed as if the camera im thinking off it could have loads of pics of my R5, 205 & SR on it :) or will the film be funked to funk by now??

Only reason I ask is I know for sure the camera I had that did have possibly all my only pics of my old Turbo & 205 got nicked out my SR when it got robbed :cry:

Err youre not supposed to hold un-developed film up to the light Mike, you have just blanked it by opening it in the light and by holding up to a light source!!


You should have been able to develop it with no problems at all but until developed you must only open them in a darkroom as light destroys films!

I held it upto natural light first an couldnt see anything, so held it upto a light an still couldnt see anything either :S

Any light will destroy it unfortunately, it needs to be opened in a room with a dull red light source only (darkroom)!

Sorry bud, you may find that not all of the roll will be blanked if you havent unrolled it all but that would be a really long shot and id say with a reasonable amount of certainty that it will now be F...ed!

LOL normally I'd say its pretty obvious Mike was taking the peepee, but then having spent 6 years in a minilab... Yeah, thats not uncommon. "I can't see my pics on this film" lol
