Hi all,
I've had in my possession a beautiful MX kit for some years now handed down through family. Not used it in a while as have my MZ-6.
Had an idea to dig it out other day with the intention of use. What I didn't know was, was a shot roll of film was lurking in the undertray of the case!
I've done some googling and the film appears to be quite old.
It's a 20 exposure 35mm film Kodak Ektrachrome. Requires E 2 processing.

Any film experts here to point me in the direction of where I could get it developed as I would like to see if any photos are salvageable.

TIA

Al

That is old. Probably the only thing remaining is to have it processed into black and white negatives. For advice on this, perhaps The Darkroom Ltd could be a starting point. http://www.the-darkroom.co.uk/

E-2 process slide films are very old, current process is E-6 and that in itself is quite a few years old now.
Best regards, John
