Thanks Rodney, As I said above I have located a company here in Australia. After many emailed questions and answers I have decided to use their services but have not yet mailed off the film. Their email address is:

print@photocontinental.com.au and the URL is www.photocontinental.com.au. Another USA one that seems pretty good is: www.filmrescue.com

 

To all future viewers: Please note that I am deactivating the alert on this thread but I will, as promised, come back in due course and say how the pictures have come out.

Will do, Michael, I presume you mean how the pics turn out but if you mean all the trials and tribulations of getting them done I tried something else as well. I Googled [Australia Agfa "CT 18"] and turned up a company in Queensland Australia who can do them. Actually they don't say where they are (except Australia) but they have a page of Camera Club links which are all Qld clubs. I have emailed them as well and if their procedures are as satisfactory as one of the US ones who gave excellent detail on their website I'll probably get them done there.

Thankyou Michael and Patrick, I have emailed both companies.

I have a casette of Agfa CT 18 exposed by my father-in-law some 40 or so years ago. The probability being that the

pictures are of family significance so I want to develop them if it is at all possible. I have been advised by a

commercial processing firm here on the Central Coast of NSW Australia that they cannot do it as their lab is set up

for E-6 processing which runs at a temperature that would strip the emulsion from the Agfa film and that as Agfa

Photo is no longer in business they doubted that anyone could do it.

 

Hoping that what was meant was that probably nobody could do it commercially I approached a local camera club

and have been advised that I need to find someone with a Rondinax tank, someone who knows what chemicals are

nececessary and someone with the knowledge of the correct procedure. This could be all the same person but it

doesn't have to be.

 

Is there anyone out there who can contribute at least part of the solution? A person with the tank needs to be

reasonably close unless they are willing to sell it.

 

I will, of course, cover all costs and am prepared to pay for time if someone does the job for me.
