old film

<p>I have a roll of Verichrome 620 pan film from an older camera. I would love to have it developed, but I'm having trouble finding anyone who can process it for me. If anyone knows of where I can get this done, please let me know. I don't know if there is anything even on the film. Thanks! </p>

<p>I don't know the width of that film, and that might be the problem getting it processed, finding someone who has a reel or machine that can process it. Your best bet would be to take it to a place that does dip and dunk processing, not roller processing. The film would not be too wide for them and I am sure it is probably not much, if at all, longer than 120 or 220 film which they handle all the time.</p>

<p>If you can do it yourself, in a tray, you could use D-76 at 70 deg F at 6-1/2 minutes at full strength or for 8 minutes diluted 1:1.</p>

<p>RockyMountainFilm.com can probably do it.</p>

<p>620 format film has exactly the same dimensions as 120 format. Only the spools are different. Both are 2.25 inches wide. Any lab that can handle B&W should be able to develop this film. If this is very old (>15 years) then labs like Rocky Mountain and Film Rescue International know how to compensate for old film. If it is not that old, then standard processing will be fine. </p>

<p>Just develop it as 120-size B&W. You don't need to tell anyone it is 620. It is the same size as 120.</p>

<p>Tech photo in Fairfield, N.J. may be able to do it. <a href="http://technicalphoto.com/">http://technicalphoto.com/</a>. Doesn't rocky mountain take forever to get your film back? </p>

Just make sure that whoever develops it will return your spool; 620 spools are unobtainable new.
