Thanks everyone for the advice. We developed the film in Xtol tonight and got
a few fogged, somewhat fuzzy images. The student even printed a couple. We
have no idea who the subjects are or where they were taken, but they were some
family's snapshots. The film came from a Spartus Full-Vue, a reflex-style 120
box camera. It was exciting to get something printable, and not knowing who or
what was on the film added to the fun.

I can second Film Rescue's services. I have met
Greg Miller, the owner, and toured his facility. He has told me a little about
his processes and procedures- but ony in general terms! If there is any chance
of an important image on the film, you may want to consider consigning it to a
professional. Perhaps this could make it more interesting for the student:
doing
some digging into the history of the camera to see what could possibly be on
the
roll.

Janet You may not know what is on this film, it could be nothing,
but it also could be a family heirloom. Now it is a bit expensive, but
to teach that the service and techniques are available you might want to
think
about Film Rescue. www.filmrescue.com On a student's
budget it might be tight, but its only a single roll. IF anyone can get
anything off that roll of film, I would bet from their reputation its them.
Frankly you might be surprised.
I once had a roll of film when I first started more seriously in
photography fall out of a pocket somewhere. It rode around in boxes,
stored in unairconditioned storage rooms in the south and un heated storage
rooms in the north. The roll of film showed up again 10 years later,
which I processed then to find it was a roll I had taken on the first date
with the now wife.

I have a student in my darkroom class who will be bringing in to develop a
roll of Plenachrome 120 film that was in an old box camera he just
purchased. Since this film is 50 years old or more, I expect it is
fogged. Would it help to add some Benzotriazole solution? I have some
on hand and the container says that it is used for paper, but could it help
the film? We have no idea how long to develop the film in Xtol, but I
expect we can't overdevelop it. We don't expect this film will
yield much, but what the heck, we have to try.
