I have a couple of old rolls of film from my old Canon T-70. I have no idea at this point what might me on them, but was looking for recommendations of where I might send then to get developed. They are at least 10 years old, so not even sure that are developable, but I have seen where very old film has been developed. Any suggestions?
I'll vote with MT Shooter.

If it's Kodachrome forget it, except I think they can process as B&W.
Don't know if it will help, but you might check this site, as well.

Worked in a photo lab for a while. Developed some very old 127,620 and 35mm rolls that were found in family member homes after they had passed. Some successful and some not, but many images not great were still able to be printed and family members able to remember the moments. Depending on how they were stored makes a huge difference. If they were stored in an attic where it got hot, not good, in a cool place like a refrigerator much better. I would get them developed without printing them. Look at the negatives and then decide which images you want printed. The first couple were generally terrible but the deeper into the roll the better they got.
I use the darkroom.com. hey can even send you digital copies.
Thanks all for the suggestions.
