Found camera

[William J Senisi]

I found my Dad's B&H 70DA and it has film in it; counter reads 10ft.

Any thoughts on what to do now? Not sure what's loaded, probably Ektachrome Reversal; it was kept in a cool, dry location since 1980's-90's

Place cap on lens or hold hand on it, run film through until end, unload and can in the dark. Allow lab workers to snip off a foot or two from end for identification processing.

Thanks, Simon. Since there's most likely only ten feet exposed, do you think the lab would be willing to rewind it so that the remaining 90' could be used and, if so, could you recommend a lab?

Don’t be micrological. Why to want to use old stock? Have the found footage developed but live today then. If you’re a beginner, start out with black and white. I’ll gladly assist you in finding your way. Black and white costs less, awakens discipline.

[William J Senisi]

Sage advice. I think I'll take it.
