Polapan 35 Processor

[illumiquest]

A friend gave me three rolls of the film but didn't have the little developer mechanism needed to process the film. I figure someone's got to have one here which I could buy cheap?

Thanks!

Don't bother. The film is far out of date and the processing chemicals have dried up. Don't ask how I know about out of date Polapan.

I tried some a couple of years back and it worked reasonably well...

That was then, this is now.

You're right, I'm not going to try anything which may not work.

A couple of years ago I used old Polaroid 600 with success. Recently I got one box - all frames were bad, very bad. I guess with Polapan it is only worse.

I'm not saying it's going to be perfect, I'm saying I have the darn things, I'll never have them again, I may as well give it a go.

I say go for it. I'm intrigued by the stuff and have read reports of people getting acceptable results. Check with jnanian. He had a processor he was going to send me, but I never got around to experimenting.

 

[darkosaric]

Give it a go - but with no expectations . And let us know the results

 

[illumiquest]

Will do, and thank you for the optimism.

Worst that can happen is that it doesn't work. Best it you wish you had more. Here's wishing for the latter, to be your results.
