Can Disposable Cameras Still Be Developed

• #one

I but plant an quondam Fuji Film disposable camera that has been used up. It has an "expiration date" on it of Feb, 2002. What are the odds that the pictures volition come up out if I get it developed? Im really curious whats on it.

As long equally it was kept in a dry, room temperature place they should turn out fine.

Im not really certain where it was kept for the last 9 years, just I guess I'll attempt anyway. It's cheap enough to go adult.

Half-dozen months ago I developed a dispensable total of shots I took in Yosemite in 2003. Out of approximately 30-six shots, merely three came out, and the colors were a picayune skewed.

That was true for those things if you'd developed the photos the day yous got home from your trip. Such garbage cameras, give thanks goodness for the advent of waterproof digitals.

Near dispensable cameras and moving picture rolls have an expiration date, the chemicals lose authority and developing onetime film is difficult because of this. But if information technology is a disposable and has the circuit for a flash all is not lost you could make a really crawly low voltage stun gun out of it and take a pic with your digital (I detect it virtually unbelievable that some people still use disposables when you can find digital cameras used everywhere cheap)

This piffling guy builds upwardly 300 volts in the Capacitor off of a regular 1.v volt AA and gives 1 hell of a shock for the offset 2 seconds--rig information technology upward right and that is one serious joy buzzer:

I think existence very surprised and I think peradventure even crying a trivial when, as a younger kid, I took apart a disposable camera for whatever reason, and discovered just what 300 volts built up on a AA bombardment feels similar on your finger tips

Dispensable cameras from 2000-2009

Ok, so I am putting together a movie of pics and music for my daughter's Sweet xvi party and was looking for photos and plant viii disposable cameras from 2000-2009, I am taking them in to run across what happens... Wish me luck!

Proper storage is the key.

A while back, I bought a big stash of Kodak EliteChrome 100(consumer Ekatachrome) with a 2001 expiration date.

The person before me kept it in the freezer from new, and that's where I've kept it since buying it. Information technology's lost a trivial bit of saturation and a fiddling bit of sensitivity over the years, just is mostly fine. The base fog has also increased a fleck(unavoidable due to background radiation). I tin actually quantify this, as I accept a densitometer and can measure the DMAX of unexposed areas(slide film loses DMAX equally base fog increases). BTW, Kodak stores main rolls(rolls that have been coated but not cut/perforated and packaged) in a table salt mine where they have a almost indefinite life.

Granted, when I'm talking about using old picture, I generally process it promptly(within a few weeks at the most). The latent image is somewhat more susceptible to degradation than the film itself.

One last thing-disposables were crummy from 24-hour interval. I take photos from the early 2000s taken with them that were processed promptly and many of them don't look a lot different from the ones posted above. The usual methodology with those is to load 400 ASA film and apply a stock-still shutter speed of about ane/500 and an aperture of f16. This gives a decent daylight exposure(sunny 16) and as well helps prevent move blur. They typically accept a single plastic lens focused to infinity or a piddling scrap shorter, and the f16 discontinuity gives both decent depth of field and reduced spherical aberration from the poor quality lens. The lens, notwithstanding, does introduce a lot of reflection and other issues that reduce saturation. The exposure also means that you basically can't become whatsoever get anything indoors unless y'all're right in front of the flash.

I just found an old Fuji Film disposable camera that has been used upwards. It has an "expiration date" on it of Feb, 2002. What are the odds that the pictures will come out if I get it developed? Im actually curious whats on it.

[doublepost=1528463373][/doublepost]Were you able to recover your pics, I just plant a phone from 2004 disposable camera with 21 pictures on it it's been in the console of a truck for the last fourteen years so no light not sure about the weather, the thing is I'm afraid to take information technology somewhere and accept them ruin it every bit my brother suspiciously passed away in June of 2004 and this was his camera so it'south the last pictures he took

Sometime last year, I got the itch to try APS and bought a Nikon Pronia 6i(1 of the all-time APS cameras fabricated, and of grade you have access to the total line of Nikon F mountain lenses). I dug up some Kodak Gold that expired in 2008, and was fairly disappointed with results. Of form, I had the lab scan it and haven't opened the cartridge to actually look at the negatives-with that said the saturation was low and there was a lot of grain. For the next scroll I shoot, I'll fix it to +one exposure compensation and see if things become any ameliorate.

Non besides long agone, I shot a coil of Kodak Ektar 25 that expired in 1990. In that location was a decent amount of base of operations fog, but I nonetheless got perfectly usable results. I shot information technology in a Nikon FM2N, and for most shots did ane/2 over(O and + illuminated for those familiar with this camera).

I simply recently got my hands on 5 120 rolls of Fuji Astia-a film I've never shot and regret not trying when information technology was yet available. It came from a lensman who had always kept information technology frozen, and he really shipped it with an ice pack in the box. I'll see how it turns out. At that place was also some 220 E100GX in the aforementioned box, although I don't want to shoot it until I make my Hasselblad A24 back works correctly and doesn't leak. I'll load up some Kodak TXP 320 and try it...

We found one of those Kodak Disc cameras one-time in the early 2000s and took the camera in to get the pics developed. They turned out mostly skilful with a few that had odd colors.

Where did you have it to become developed?

The developer isn't going to ruin the pics. Either they are salvageable or they aren't. You lot have two options: never develop them, or take them developed. What comes out is what comes out.

Or I estimate y'all could look for a time auto to exist created and then get back in time and develop them sooner.

Where did you take it to get developed?

For mutual 35mm color negative motion picture(C-41 process-yous need a specialty lab for C-22 and older processes as they will atomize in C-41 chemistry), you tin can probably find a local place with a minilab that tin can run it and scan it for a few bucks. The days of every drug store having a minilab are gone, but in that location are nonetheless some camera stores and independent labs that maintain them.

Near labs these days can handle 35 and a lot can do 120(and perhaps 220). Not all labs can do handle other oddball sizes-APS, 110, disk, etc. I actually like Dwayne'south Photo out of Kansas-they were the last lab in the world that could do Kodachrome, and handle everything but sheet film.
