steve_pruitt Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I just found an old Argus box camera from the 40's in my mom's closet. It had a10 print roll of Kodak Verichrome 620 B&W print film in it that had beenexposed. I'd like to get it processed. My local photo guy does not have a'spool' that will hold it to process. Any ideas where I can go to see if thiscan be developed? Steve 208.726.3583 spruitt@archplus-sv.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Goose Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Contact Gene M here on this forum, he processes a lot of vintage rolls and knows how to handle them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_appleyard Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Isn't 620 the same film as 120 just on a different spool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vrankin Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Dwayne's in Kansas will definitely do it, and well. They get good press here at P/N and I use them for 35mm. Reasonably priced, and good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_needham Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Any place that can handle BW 120 should be able to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrydressler Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I second Gene M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_foy3 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 The issue is less that it's 620 (same size as 120), and more that it's Verichrome, not Verichrome Pan. That means it's very old, undoubtedly more than fifty years. Treating it like relatively recent Verichrome Pan will probably result in very badly fogged film. Whoever processes it should have some experience with old film, like Film Rescue International (who don't charge if the film is blank). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_pruitt Posted November 1, 2007 Author Share Posted November 1, 2007 Thanks everyone for the info on gettting my 620 processed. It is in fact Verichrome Pan 620 so not so old. Gene M: can you contact me at spruitt@archplus-sv.com so I can coordinate getting this film to you or getting more advice? Steve Pruitt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yuri_yupiter3 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 <p>Verichrome film is ortho and can be developed under redlight safeight.</p> <p>Later Verichrome PAN came out in the mid 1950's and this requires TOTAL darkness to develop. Sone folks do a quick few seconds ONLY "peek" using a super dark green Kodak safelight</p> <p>A super old roll of 620 or 120 can have a "set" in the film and be super hard to load on a film reel. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wblynch Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 <p>I developed a Verichrome Pan 116 roll exposed in 1959 with Kodak's HC-110. Slightly overdeveloped it and there was some fog but I got usable negatives. Very exciting, I must say.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
