I would like to develop some old Kodak 620 film I found in my Dad's Kodak Junior Six-20 Series II. It has green wrapping paper but no indication of film type. I was going to develop it using HC110 Dev at 1:31 Any suggestions on amount of development time?

It is old film. I would use stand development - one hour with no agitation after the initial ten seconds. Works with most films.

I'd agree with Peltigera. Whatever people may say about stand development it is probably the best method with old film of a date and pedigree unknown. Even with stand development do not expect too much. I'd treat any frames with any image as a bonus.

Best of luck.

Good luck! My mum have me her dad's six-20 which had a roll of exposed film inside. Been in there since the late 30's. I could barely make out any images.
