Further to the Saga of the Yashica Model M, I took it down to the wonderful humans at Photolab in Berkeley, who took it into the darkroom and extracted the film from the camera. They were even going to hand it back to me in a light-safe canister, instead of the milky-clear one that Kodak, in their infinite wisdom, had used. All at no charge.

Like I said, wonderful humans.

But, since I don't darkroom and I was going to have them develop it anyway, I just did that. We'll see what well-stored but 10-years-expired color film does in a 65-year-old camera that I paid 50 bucks for.

Bonus, the lovely humans at Photolab really liked my camera.
