Photography question

[arib]

Or possibly chemistry. Maybe both.

Last week, I found a completed but undeveloped disposable camera in my old dresser back at my folks' place. Based on markings on the camera, it's from the early nineties. Is there any chance it's developable?

Hubby worked in a camera store for a number of years. I just emailed him your question. My own initial reaction is "probably not". When I was in junior high school, I had one of those disc-film cameras that I forgot about for years. I had the film developed and there was a lot of reddish streaking on the photos. I could still see the people and places, but under a cloudy red film. I ended up throwing out most of the photos. Granted, that was years ago, and I imagine photo tech has improved a lot since, just...prepare to be disappointed. Good luck!

I'd definitely develop it. It may well have coloured streaks and stuff, but you should be able to tell what the photos are of. And they may be good enough to keep.
