Hi!
I recently was given an exposed roll of 620 negative film that is C-22. My local camera shop said I couldn't get it developed anywhere in the US. I figured the HOGS might know where I could get it developed. It came from a 91 year old adventurer and I'd love to see what's on it - if it survived being I a drawer for years. Thank you - I really enjoy trolling the topics and have learned a lot.

There is no one making C-22 chemistry. But the film can be processed as black-and-white. See this link:

Other labs may do it as well.

You might try this site. I know they do 120 color film rolls. Perhaps they also will process 620. Go to the Photo Services tab. You will probably need to call or email to find out about 620.

I apologize. I did not read your question carefully. You asked about C-22, I have no idea if that can be done.

Try the Rocky Mountain Film Lab. The claim to be able to process C-22 film in color. The catch is that the turnaround time is 6 to 12 months. I'm guessing there there is a low volume of requests and they mix the chemicals manually when they have enough to do a batch. On the other hand, the price seems reasonable to me. I would contact them. On other parts of their web site they claim to be able to process other obsolete or discontinued films.

Good to know about these folks!

I had the same problem last spring when I found 4 rolls of 127 C-22 film in my cellar that my dad had shot in 1962. I found out that Rapid Photo Imaging in Pennsylvania processes C-22. (Find them on line and give them a call!) They did a great job, (even scanned them and sent me a CD) the color was decent after all those years, and some of the photos were of my brothers and I from nearly 60 years ago!

Process as B&W and then colorize it.

DON'T process it as black & White! The color will still be good, you only have one chance at this. Call 570-586-1555. Rapid Photo Imaging Center Inc., Clarks Summit, PA will process it, print it, and scan it. Turn-around for me was around 3 or 4 weeks. They are very personable and communicate well how to order and what to expect.

a caution... depending on the age and storage, with colour film, the colour can change a bit. Colours may not be true.

These were taken in the early '60's with no special storage, just in a box in the den or cellar for 60 years and processed in June, 2021.

(I'm the boy with the glasses and my pet crow, Corvus, on my shoulder.) Two of my brothers are on the raft in the Raquette River, Tupper Lake, NY. Would like to see some results from your roll, once you get it processed.

Pretty cool - tell us more about the crow…

Great results from old film. Do you know what that area is like now? Walmart parking lot?
