Developing + printing of less common analogue films

'A G' can develop many film types of old, including APS, 110mm, 126mm, 35mm panoramics,127mm and 35mm half frame.

March 2024

I am dedicating some pages of this website to a project I've decided to start: Having worked here over 30 years, I went through the original years of customers using film cameras first time round. The world has changed so much since then, but these ancient film cameras are being used again by younger generations of people eager to explore film photography for the first time, second time round.

I'm interested to explore all sorts of films/methods/interests, including the newer film emulsions that weren’t around 25 years ago such as films like Lomography, Washi, Flic, Cinestill, etc, as well as old-school Gold, Ilford, Polaroid, Infrared films, 126mm, half-frame, panoramic, 127mm etc.

This is NOT a 'best photo' competition; it's about you and your love for film photography. And it's just for local Sheffield dwellers at this time (whether indigenous or at Uni etc here).

I'm also interested in finding out more about these new film users.  So I've complied a list of questions, and am asking local film camera users if they would be willing to display some of their images on here, and  answer some questions if they are happy with that (unsurprisingly, the question of whether they are single and wealthy gets ignored lol). 

SO... My fist few pages have been created,  and can be viewed here.

If you would like a page too, to express your thoughts, film user experiences and images, call in the shop or email us.

C22 was the standard process for colour negative (print) film until 1972 (when it was superceded by the now current C41 process).

All the chemicals required to run process C22 are now unavailable commercially, but  Ag can process film designated for process C22 as black and white. This is the only viable option when attempting to bring it to life for customers. There is no possibility of processing as colour. Even when the film was current, the latent image life (exposed, but unprocessed image) was known to be unreliable and now, with these films being well over 40 years old, it is easy to understand the challenge.
'A G' have found the results to be very variable and negative quality normally quite poor.
But this may be better than nothing for some customers.
However, 'A G' can give no guarantees at all and your film may yield no usable results. If this is the case, your total cost will be only the basic processing cost and any options selected (scans or prints) will be refunded.
  • Film Developer: FUJIFILM EnviroNeg
  • Development temperature: 38°C +/- 0.2°
  • Processor Type: Noritsu short leader
  • Drying: clean air blower integrated into processor (no transfer of films to separate dryer)(no squeegee rack or blades).
