In an old medium format camera that I get I found this film. Does any one haves any ideea what film it might be? I want to have it processed, so I must know what it is: pre-C41 color (and what brand), C41 color, non-E6 color slide, E6 color slide, black and white slide, black and white negative.

I don't have a dark room...
I don't think that in Romania they ever made medium format films, only 135 = 35 m.m. format.

Were you going to take it to a lab to develop, then? If so, you can request that they rewind/roll it back to see if there is a label.

Looks like Foma film by the backing paper. But hard to know which one.

Din't konw that.
As for the film, I will ask the lab if it can take a look without damaging it.

If you have a medium format camera you can just do that yourself inside the camera as an alternative. This works best with simple old folders where the film advance has nothing to do with the shutter. But I got the impression you didn't have a 120 camera which is why I suggested the lab.

The trailing end of 120 is not fastened and would jam up when you attempt to roll it off (that film would be very curly).

I think you're better off taking a spare 120 spool and the film into the darkest room you can, at night, and doing it by hand. You don't need a darkroom - just a room that's very, very dark.

Hmm good point. I have done this but only with fresh film.

Well, he could get lucky and have the film feed off with the paper but I think it would want to stay curled.

Although, I guess it wouldn't jam up - it would start to feed off on the back of the backing paper. Don't know what it would do when it got to the tape, though....
