Hi everyone,

I just found my instant camera I misplaced
7 years ago.I have some photos inside and
I don't know if it still can be developed.I
don't want to waste money bringing it
to some shop and the photos didn't came
out.

Hope you expert can help me out!!

Thank you very much.

I guessing that you mean a 126 Kodak Instamatic, if it was me I would get it developed, but it up to you if it is worth it

I'd say at the least take it to some cheap photo place like wal-mart and if the prints don't turn out you don't have to pay for them

You will get an image but the color will most likely be off. Once my Nana gave me one of her old cameras (antique by this point...bought new). She still had film in it. I did divelop it but, although there was an image, you couldn't make out what it was...I think it was land scapes. We estimated that the film was around 30 years old.

If you take it to a lab let them know that the color will be off. That way they don't waste a lot of time trying to corect something that can't be corected. Wall-Mart is a good idea; if you like anything that is on the film you can alway take it to be printed at real lab =)
