Doug i got a camara that my Grandpa gave me that he got off a dead soldier in WWII, still has the film in it, wonder if the film is still good? Who knows what pictures it may have! Ask your daughter if she thinks its still good if you get a chance. Thanks
Cheyenne, That is pretty neat! I just got off the phone with my daughter. She said it depends one how the camera was stored over the years, cool and dry are good, heat and moisture not so good. No way to really tell unless you look at the film. The camera would need to be opened in a dark room so most photo shops and photographers would no longer be equipted to do it, they're all digital. She recommended a few things, first you might want to contact the camera manufacture, they might be able to do it. She also said you could contact the "Popular Photography and Images" magazine, she thinks they have a web site. They might develope and do an article on the pics. She also said to check local colleges and high schools, some still use dark room photography. If you need more info send me a pm and I'll send you her email address.
