Thanks for sharing!

It happened to me once that I found an exposed old rol of film in a camera I bought at a camera fair. I contacted Kodak HQ for advice and within 2 days
I got an email reply with advice on how to proceed with developing it.  Unfortunately in my case the film proved to be entirely fogged but I sure found it
a very special experience.

This sort of thing is fascinating, I wonder how much more usable undeveloped film is out there and what all is on it.

While not undeveloped, while cleaning out my late grandparents home a while back I found a box of color slides my grandpa brought back from WWII along with a yellowed list handwritten in German of the contents. They had apparently belonged to a German officer and contain a variety of scenes from rather dull landscapes to pictures of soldiers relaxing, some of tanks, trucks and planes. Pretty fascinating, I have no idea how my grandpa ended up with them, I didn't even know he was in the army until well after he died, he never talked about it when I was a kid.
