[QUOTE="dxsat, post: 999622, member: 193607"] The 35mm film strips can be viewed by attaching by the edges to a window in daylight. Photograph them with a smartphone (most will focus very close- hold it very steady) and then invert the image in software, or maybe in "negative" special effect. Quality won't be very high but you will be able to see what they hold. Higher quality still can be had with a DSLR and a macro lens. There will be people in the local camera club with a scanner. Ask round before you spend money. The (French) Verichrome (monochrome) films are likely to produce pretty grey results, it they come out at all, after remaining undeveloped for half a century. The previous suggestion of developing them in D76 is a good one - but ask in the camera club for help as they need to be processed in a tank with a 120 reel. ID-11 will also work. They will be either 6 x 6 cm or 6 x 9 cm, an old, odd format which won't fit in many scanners. [/QUOTE]
