Where/how to get Minox film processed?

[westfi1]

I just found an ancient Minox film mailer from years and years ago. It’s a small green cloth sack with a drawstring and paper label attached. The label has New York lab address and a place for your name and address. I also removed a partially exposed roll of Plus X from my Minox B. Does anyone know if this mailer is still viable, or even if you can still get Minox film processed ? Thanks . . .

Have you tried to contact the lab? You say the mailer is from years and years ago, so most likely they don't exist... I would just develop it myself.

Apparently, this place sells and processes subminiature film

Minox stopped processing film many years ago. Blue Moon sells and processes Minox film. If this isn’t to be the only Minox film you’ll develop, I would begin developing using a Minox developing tank, which is simple to use.
As for myself, I develop my BW film and let Blue Moon process color.

One thing to be aware of: the daylight loading feature of some Minox tanks requires breaking the cassette, and original cassettes are no longer made (Blue Moon sells film in 3D printed cassettes, AFAIK).

I have a bunch of Minox daylight tanks and never had to break a cassette. Were tanks that required breaking cassette made by Minox? This is news to me.

Blue Moon Camera in Portland processes Minox film and will also scan it as well as optically print it. They also sell Minox film in legit cartridges in a variety of film stocks, along with Minox cameras.

There are lots of ways to develop Minox film -- but you need different gear than, for example, 35mm film. The gear doesn't have to be Minox gear, it can even be easy DIY stuff. See the SUBCLUB for the countless options.

I may have misremembered, then -- this was applicable only to the ones with the daylight loading feature, but I might be conflating with the ones made for Minolta 16.
