developing obsolete film cartridge

c41 is the standard colour negative formula - which means when you develop the film you will get a reel of colour negative - which will then have to be printed.

Processing c 41 is a doddle if you've got the right equipment. You'll need to find someone with an adjustable spiral for their developing tank - and then set the two faces of the spiral at the exact width of the film - which will be the width of the cassette minus a 'little bit'. If you are sure that you've set the spiral correctly - then under complete dark room conditions :- remove the film from the cassette, load the film into the spiral, put the spiral in the tank - and place the lid on the tank (you can now turn the lights on). If you've got an old film from another cassette practice with that - in the light several times.
Then - with some c 41 developing solution develop the film as per the instructions - rinse - and then fix the film as per instructions - rinse lots of times. Don't open the tank until all this is finished.

Hang film to dry in a dust proof place.

Then get someone to print the film for you.

I once processed a similar film that was about twenty years old which had been stored in a loft since the day the photos were taken. Considering the conditions it turned out amazingly well, just lacking somewhat in contrast. As #2 says, C41 is normal colour negative process.

126 format?

Strange!

I have a Rolleicord with a 126 film in it that is 18 years old.

Must get it developed and get a new roll.
