    I've found my grandad's one from 1977 seen here and I'm trying to make out is the film used or not. I know its hard to get it developed if it is but it'd be worth a shot. The film meter goes from [0, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, F] and the indicator is at F. I'm just not sure does F mean its full and ready to use or full and ready to develop. Has anyone got any idea?

    More of a problem is that it's kodachrome, you can't get that developed anywhere anymore unless someone is willing to do some hybrid B&W x-process

    Contact Process Lab in Cork, they will advise on developing it as a black & white negative. Film Rescue International in Canada will also advise.

    I had some work done by Process Lab and was very happy with the results.

    I have no affiliation with Process Lab except that I am a customer, if their link breaks any rules then please delete.
