I just finished the film in a Magic Plus! disposable camera, bought, possibly 20 years ago. The film inside is a Misubishi MX-II400 film! I'm pretty sure Mistubishi didn't make the film Has anybody got any idea what brand it might be?

Tomorrow I would like to processit. My fallback position is to bung it in with some Silberra Pan 160, in Rodinal 1:25 7/8 minutes @ 20C. Worth a punt?

Incidentally, I didn't have to dismantle the camera to get the film out. It has a film chamber with a cover.

I'll post pictures of the naked camera another time.
 
Agree with Chris that it could well simply be standard C41 process.

Personally, given its age and the likelyhod of serious colour shifts, I would just bung it an 1:100 solution of whatever developer and semi stand it then adjust contrast etc in PP
 
Thanks Asha. I don't have any C41 chems and it seems not worth sending out so I'll take your suggestion.
 
I processed the film as Asha suggested, 1:100 Rodinal, and it came out completely black! I was suprised since that would surely indicate it was fullt exposed before being deveoped. I loaded two tanks at the same time in the changing tent and neither of the other films showed any sign of having been accidentally exposed. Ah well, no great loss I suppose. I see from the camera packaging that it was recommended for development before 01/2003 and since it is a lenticular camera I wouldn't have been able to get the pictures mounted. Still, I'm of a mind to open the camera up and try another film in it.
