Can You Develop Expired Disposable Cameras

• #1

I merely found an old Fuji Flick 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 go it developed? Im really curious whats on it.

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

Im not really certain where it was kept for the last nine years, only I judge I'll try anyway. It's inexpensive plenty to get developed.

Vi months agone I developed a disposable full of shots I took in Yosemite in 2003. Out of approximately thirty-half dozen shots, just 3 came out, and the colors were a little skewed.

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

Nearly disposable cameras and film rolls have an expiration date, the chemicals lose dominance and developing former film is difficult because of this. But if it is a disposable and has the circuit for a flash all is not lost you lot could make a really awesome low voltage stun gun out of information technology and take a pic with your digital (I observe it almost unbelievable that some people still use disposables when y'all can find digital cameras used everywhere cheap)

This lilliputian guy builds upward 300 volts in the Capacitor off of a regular 1.v volt AA and gives one hell of a shock for the beginning 2 seconds--rig it up right and that is i serious joy buzzer:

I call back being very surprised and I retrieve perhaps even crying a little when, as a younger kid, I took autonomously a disposable photographic camera for whatever reason, and discovered but what 300 volts built up on a AA bombardment feels similar on your finger tips

Disposable cameras from 2000-2009

Ok, so I am putting together a movie of pics and music for my daughter's Sugariness 16 political party and was looking for photos and found 8 disposable cameras from 2000-2009, I am taking them in to meet 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 ownership information technology. Information technology's lost a little scrap of saturation and a footling bit of sensitivity over the years, but is more often than not fine. The base of operations fog has as well increased a bit(unavoidable due to background radiation). I can actually quantify this, as I have a densitometer and can measure the DMAX of unexposed areas(slide film loses DMAX as base fog increases). BTW, Kodak stores master rolls(rolls that have been coated simply non cut/perforated and packaged) in a table salt mine where they have a virtually indefinite life.

Granted, when I'm talking about using old motion-picture show, I mostly process information technology promptly(within a few weeks at the well-nigh). The latent paradigm is somewhat more than susceptible to degradation than the film itself.

Ane terminal thing-disposables were crummy from twenty-four hours. I have 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 to a higher place. The usual methodology with those is to load 400 ASA picture and use a stock-still shutter speed of about 1/500 and an aperture of f16. This gives a decent daylight exposure(sunny 16) and too helps prevent motion blur. They typically take a single plastic lens focused to infinity or a trivial bit shorter, and the f16 aperture gives both decent depth of field and reduced spherical aberration from the poor quality lens. The lens, however, does innovate a lot of reflection and other issues that reduce saturation. The exposure likewise means that you basically can't go whatsoever get annihilation indoors unless you're right in front of the flash.

I just found an old Fuji Motion picture disposable camera that has been used up. It has an "expiration date" on it of Feb, 2002. What are the odds that the pictures will come out if I become information technology developed? Im really 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 information technology's been in the console of a truck for the last fourteen years so no light non sure most the weather, the matter is I'm afraid to take it somewhere and take them ruin it as my brother suspiciously passed away in June of 2004 and this was his photographic camera so it's the terminal pictures he took

Erstwhile last year, I got the itch to endeavor APS and bought a Nikon Pronia 6i(1 of the best APS cameras fabricated, and of course you have access to the full line of Nikon F mount 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 await 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 set it to +i exposure compensation and see if things get any better.

Non too long ago, I shot a roll of Kodak Ektar 25 that expired in 1990. There was a decent amount of base of operations fog, but I even so got perfectly usable results. I shot it in a Nikon FM2N, and for about shots did 1/2 over(O and + illuminated for those familiar with this camera).

I but recently got my hands on 5 120 rolls of Fuji Astia-a film I've never shot and regret non trying when information technology was still bachelor. It came from a photographer who had e'er kept it frozen, and he actually shipped it with an ice pack in the box. I'll see how it turns out. There was as well some 220 E100GX in the same box, although I don't desire to shoot it until I make my Hasselblad A24 back works correctly and doesn't leak. I'll load upwardly some Kodak TXP 320 and try it...

We establish one of those Kodak Disc cameras sometime in the early on 2000s and took the camera in to get the pics adult. They turned out mostly good with a few that had odd colors.

Where did you take information technology to get adult?

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 have them developed. What comes out is what comes out.

Or I estimate you could await for a fourth dimension machine to exist created and and so go back in time and develop them sooner.

Where did y'all take it to go developed?

For common 35mm color negative picture show(C-41 procedure-you need a specialty lab for C-22 and older processes every bit they will disintegrate in C-41 chemistry), you lot can probably detect a local place with a minilab that can run it and scan information technology for a few bucks. The days of every drug store having a minilab are gone, but there are still some camera stores and independent labs that maintain them.

Most labs these days can handle 35 and a lot tin practice 120(and maybe 220). Not all labs can do handle other oddball sizes-APS, 110, disk, etc. I actually like Dwayne's Photo out of Kansas-they were the last lab in the globe that could practise Kodachrome, and handle everything but sail film.
