1) You should be happy they should still be OK, the films, and such a wonderful bunch too
2) the free films will cost you a mint developing, so not so cheap
Put most of them up on ebay for the lomo folks, and keep some for yourself
congratulations!!! _________________ -Jussi

Nice catch!
I have a camera for you, a Praktica. It should be working fine, and be lightproof. If you can pick it up in Utrecht, you may have it for a bottle of Belgian beer

You should definitely be, Semso. They look stored properly, judging from packaging condition. In addition to the generous offer from Eeyore_nl you may want to look for a cheap medium format camera since most of the film is 120. A Yashica Mat or an old MF rangefinder should be a good starting point.

Welp, to me, it's a no brainer. If the film has been properly stored, it should still be okay.
I can highly recommend either of the two medium format cameras I've bought just recently:
Yashica Mat 124 -- outstandingly sharp Yashinon lens, takes 120 and 220, 6x6 negative.
Bronica ETRSi -- nice modular system with great optics, can be had for quite cheap nowadays, 6x4.5 negative.
I paid about $100US for my Yashica Mat, and $132US for my ETRSi outfit (body, prism finder, 75/2.8, 120 and 220 backs) -- both eBay auctions.
The Mamiya RB67 can often be acquired for cheap, too. And it has that great big 6x7 negative.
There are other great deals in medium format to be found, but it depends largely on your budget as to which others to recommend. _________________ Michael

+1 for yashicamat.
Runa roll off of each. If the colors are a mess you can still shoot them to convert to B+W, cross process, or develop them in B+W chemistry.
I see $1000 dollars worth of developing in that pile plus scanning time.
Better get rid of some quick before it becomes any more expired
175 rolls x $6 per roll= $1050 in developing cost. _________________ Moderator |

Ah the Rijnhal. I have been there often but did not find much with regards to photography. You got extremely lucky I think!
It should not be too hard to find a decent folder to try those 120 format roll films in. The Yashica-Mat is a good one too.
Have fun! If your first rolls look nice and you want to get rid of a few of them, then please drop me a PM _________________ Peter - Moderator

I agree, you should sell about 100 rolls for $2.5 each, get $250 and buy yourself a Jobo processor (maybe you'll need to add a few bucks).
But then you will make up for those $250 (including chemical costs) just by self-developing the remaining 75 rolls:
$6 per roll * 75 = $450
cost per roll using Kodak E-6 5L kit = $3 (that's if you don't reuse the chems, and if you strictly develop one 120 roll per development. You can dev 2 rolls of 120 at a time, which will bring down the cost to $1.50/roll) * 75 = $225
Delta = $225
Oh, and after your 2nd or 3rd roll, the quality will be just as good as professionally processed film:

Atilla, I have about 250 rolls at the moment and I do not consider it to be too much. I just keep most of them in refrigerator (below -18 degrees C) and they are just fine, even if they are heavily outdated.
But I shoot on film only. |
