Default Seattle Film Works Process SFW-XL

I hate to admit it, but I founds four rolls of exposed file with
Process: SFW-SL on the canister. Where does a person send these to get
them developed? I searched several photograph news groups but there is
very little information that isn't over 6 years old.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Some advice that I find says the film is old movei film. Others have
stated that it is C-41.
The local labs won't touch it. What is a person to do to get these
rolls developed?

Thanks in advance,
djs

My advice is to just toss them out. Exposed film degrades rapidly
and the images will probably not be very good.

Seattle FilmWorks changed their name to PhotoWorks more then 5 years ago.
I bet they will process it for you. www.photoworks.com

And for good reason. If it is movie film, it will pollute their line.

Rapidly? I have seen film developed after forty years that still has
a latent image YMMV.

Yes it produces goo when run through regular C41 lines
and coats all rollers and racks with stuff that is very hard to clean
off.

Didn't SFW stop using that movie film long ago?

I once left an exposed roll of Supra 800 for just one year, and
the images printed from it were totally unacceptable.


You made the blanket statement. The next question is what did the
negative look like? I have kept slide films up to a year with no
adverse affects, it may depend on where one stores the film.

SFW is now PhotoWorks. They used to respool movie film but for at least
the last 10 years or more their film has been C41. Whichever it is,
Photoworks will develop it for you.

Thanks for the info. I found a local lab that said they can handle it.
They send it out somwhere, but they said it takes four weeks. I will
let you all know how it works out. Thanks for the info.
