Ok so sifting through some of my gear today and amongst other items that I'd long since forgotten about, I came across some Kodak Kodacolor Gold disc film ...15 exposures dated aug 1995

I've got 2 or 3 disc cameras bobbing about somewhere which I'm pretty sure one will work , so the question is:

If i shoot the film disc, how do i go about developing it at home?

I'm presuming it will be c-41 process though to cross process in b&w chems if needs be wont bother me.

Will I get away with simply dunking the disc on a tank of chems, agitating and fixing as i would other films or will the disc simply disintegrate and leave me with a mushy mess??

I have no idea what the discs where even made of nor the lab process for obtaining prints but i'm up for having a play around at home.

Any ideas, advice etc from you guys could well prove helpful.....perhaps there's already been one of you mad enough to do what i'm considering:shrug:
 
Remember reading somewhere that you take the disc out of the cartridge which is hinged one end and simply unclips at the other. It will stand upright in an ordinary dev tank, as it is a

lot thicker than normal film. Do this in the dark obviously, and handle the disc by the centre so you don't touch the frames.

How you print, or scan them is another matter !

Thanks for your response:thumbs:

Sounds like the cartridge is much easier to access than the old 126 and 110 formats ...they were twisted which broke the "tabs" to allow access.
Good it will simply bob into a tank ......another project comes alive!:banana:
 
Thanks for the link David..... yep it is of help:thumbs:

All I've gotta do now is find inspiration of what to shoot:thinking::D
