I have a bag of these old kodak disk films from when I was younger, probably date from mid/late 80s..

Would love to see whats on these, anyone got any experience of doing this ?

Any chance they wont have perished ?

Any one used a good developer they can recommend ? Just been searching and only place I've found so far wants £35 !!!!! per disk, must have 6-8 of them.

Peak Imaging are good (and expensive). Not sure if they'll do disc films, but worth a try.

They might have faded, but there's probably something on them.

If they are exposed but not developed then I wouldn't expect too much from the images. Undeveloped film will deteriorate over time and the size of the disc negatives was very small to start with. They never did give very good images when enlarged and this many years on they may be pretty faded.

It might be worth contacting a specialist as it's possible that very old film would develop better with different concentrations of chemicals and times in the development/fixing stages etc.
These guys might be able to help, but I doubt it will be cheap:
