Community policy

This community is dedicated to old undeveloped film.

If you managed to develop such a film, at home or professionally, yourself or with help, this is a place to share images and stories as well as technical information.

Included:

Formats/Media: rolls/sheets of undeveloped film found in old cameras, junk boxes, bought on eBay, etc. Any format is ok:
- sheet film 8x10, 5x7, 4x5,
- roll film 130, 116, 120, 126, 127, 616, 620, 135 (AKA 35mm), 110 etc.
Still/motion: film exposed in still camera is included; motion film and stories are ok, too (please present motion films as few still images and/or link to mpg/avi/mov on place like http://yourtube.com).
Age: the age of the film is somewhat important but there is no general rule on this; it could be as old as several years; the older the better. Very old film considered extremely interesting, please share your images and technical knowledge.
Technical/informational: The publication can be either technical (how you develop/scanned the film etc.), informational (images and stories), or both.

Not included:

Film previously developed and found as such
Prints (even polaroids!).
Digital images not included as well.

Language:

Your story can be any language; short annotation and captions have to be translated to English. Discussions under posts expected to be in English.

Moderated:

This is pre-moderated community. Any post to appear online has to be approved by the moderator(s).

FAQs:

Please read Welcome message, FAQ and Disclaimer before you post!

Tags:

To be searchable, every post has to have LJ tags. Please use format tag (116, 120, 135 or whatever your film format is), film tag (verichrome pan etc), developer tag (HC-110, D-19, D76 etc) and age tag (90s,80s,70s etc). If your are not sure about age of the film, put several possible tags to cover the whole period. For instance, for 1930-1950 put "30s,40s". The full list of official community tags can be found here.
