Developing film left in camera by previous owner?

[chrisfowler]

Just bought a 35mm compact from a charity shop and it had a roll of film in the back - I think someone else here recently had a similar conundrum... get it developed or bin it?

I'm interested to know what the last owner took snaps of, but also concerned at getting a mystery film developed...

i had a roll in a camera i picked up from a boot sale, i developed it, just random images of a garage, some trees and very little else. Quite the anti climax.

I agree, get it processed! If you're not doing it yourself, and are concerned that there might be something there to raise eyebrows, just include a note when you send it off...

I found a film in the camera recently h'mm had me guessing for a bit on why the camera would fire (24 shots used)...but the Sainsbury film doesn't look that old so wont bother.
