Information needed..Verichrome Pan 620

[swts4d]

I have recieved 4 rolls of Kodak Pan Film-Verichrome pan 620 film & 1 roll of Koda-color X-620Film Color Proc. C-22 from my parents estate. I looks like all have been used. And I am needing someone to develop them. I have called around in my area...but can not find a business to develop them. Is there anyone on here that could help me get these rolls into prints? I am in central North Carolina and could mail the rolls to you if you can help. You can email me at swts4d@yahoo.com Thanks!!

For me, this Canadian lab has recently done a good job on some Kodacolor from the late '60s. The older color films yield black & white images, though, and the Film Rescuers must work pretty hard to extract anything useful. After inspecting my processed film, I was amazed they got anything at all from the almost totally black Kodacolor negatives. The older B&W films like Verichrome Pan get better results. In any case, expect the process to take several months. Along with the developed film, you can order a CD-ROM of the processed pictures.

I would also contact Blue Moon Camera: http://www.bluemooncamera.com/

They do some oddball requests. 620 film should not be a problem. The Verichrome Pan should not be too much of a problem either. The color film I wouldn't have any expectations for.

Ok thanks so much for your help.

If you deal with someone who develops commonly available 120 black and white film, they can develop the Verichrome Pan film. 620 is the same size film as 120, just on a different spool.

Do you already process any 120 B&W films yourself? If you do, the Verichrome Pan will be an easy proposition for you. Develop it as you would any 100/125 ISO film. If you do process them yourself, you can do them one at a time. This will let you make adjustments to development time as you see fit. If you send them to a lab. they will simply process all four at the same time and you will be stuck with whatever are the results...

For the colour film this might help you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C-22_process

Older rolls of B&W can indeed be developed by any experienced person, while C-22 color film requires special chemicals, procedures and digital post-processing to extract usable images.

BTW the 620 spools are valuable. Make sure you get them back from wherever you send the film to for processing.
