Just bought an old Ensign Ranger II 6*9 folder from a junk shop in our
village, to find it still has a roll of Ilfocolour in it.
A quick look on the web says that this film was introduced in 1960.
Does anyone have any idea what process it used?
If it was C41 I will ask my local processor if they fancy a go at it. If
not, does anyone know who might be able to develop it?
And the camera is a peach - nice condition, all working, good bellows
and a very nice case. Good quality internals, too - not one of the usual
pressed-metal monsters.

A quick search on Ilfocolor, Film, Processing came up with a couple ads for
folks who process old films (USA and England). Looks like Ilfocolor was a
C-22 process (pre C-41).

Cheers - yep, C22 process.
The processors do it in batches, so I'll give them a ring.
Just run a roll of HP5 through the camera and it seems fine. Huge negs.

Try Rocky Mountain Film Labs. They process EVERYTHING old, but at some
cost and sometimes it is slow. Check their website:

I once found a roll of Tri-X in an old Pentax H3 I thought for sure would
have old family pics on it, so I developed it only to find just three
pictures on the whole roll, all of which featured a guy with a big hard on.
Turns out my sister had borrowed the camera in college. The slut.
