Just curious if anyone knows of a place that still develops film from 3-D camera's? I have one that has film in it waiting to be developed only every place I used to take it to no longer processes it.

:shrug:

Processing shouldn't be a problem. It's the mounting that has become the issue. I believe that there was a thread on here several months ago with this same issue. You might want to search for that thread.

IIRC you have a camera that takes Lenticulars (The Loreo?). Is that correct? I have a link somewhere for that, I can't find it right now, but you can start here:

When I click on the links I get "movies about the 80's" And a poker link.

I can verify that it's the mounting that's the problem, not the developing.

My Dad (who just turned 80), used a 3D camera from the 50's for all of our family photography, for as long as he could get the "double-sides" (as we called them) made locally -- which lasted up until the late 80's, or maybe the very early 90's.

I'm sure there's probably still some specialty service somewhere on the planet that will do the job. Finding them, on the other hand, will be the challenge.

Try this link...

http://www.stereoscopy.com/

...which seems to be what the original poster intended.

Their FAQ has a sub-section called "services". Look here, and there appear to be quite a number of options available (or hopefully still available)...

This sub-sub-section in particular might be helpful...



Processing Old Films


If you find an old camera in your grandfather's attic which still has an exposed film inside the camera, chances aren't too bad that the film can still be developed - even after more than 25 years.

Film manufacturing companies regularly change their film formats and chemical processes - but a few dedicated companies still offer (almost) every process out there. While we don't endorse any specific company, you may want to try to get in touch with the following:

Rocky Mountain Film Lab
560 Geneva Street
Aurora, CO 80010
USA
Tel.: +1 (303) 364-6444, Fax: +1 (303) 340-3449
E-Mail: info@rockymountainfilm.com
Web: http://www.rockymountainfilm.com



Please note, there are also other options (vendors) listed in the "services" section link provided above, so I'm not specifically suggesting just this one vendor I've posted info about. (I've no experience with any of these vendors.) But based on the info at this one vendor's web-site (and a pretty extensive FAQ there), they look like a pretty good place to start.

If you have a lenticular stereo camera, then this is page you want:
