Question
John, I picked up a disposable 3d camera
(with 3 lens) at a garage sale. It has iso 400 with c41 process.
Can you tell me where I can have it developed.
It also has a latch, on the side, after the cover
is removed. Can I reload this camera? again?

Answer
Ted,

I'm sure it is technically possible to reload your camera.  But with a "single use" version you may need a darkroom to reload the thing.  I can't say for sure without seeing it.  But cameras like that typically start out with all the film outside the can and as you shoot and wind, you are winding the film back into the can.  You'd need a darkroom to load a camera like that.

For processing, you might try Ritz Camera.  I also found a website that says they can do it.

The problem is that historically companies that do 3D are usually "fly by night" operations.  They usually don't stay in business long and they usually take forever to get your prints back.
