I've inherited a whole bunch of expired color film. I can only process black and white in my new darkroom. And I'm not too keen on sending it out for processing as it will cost a fortune.

Is there any way of processing this with black and white chemicals? Obviously these would be monochrome. I tried one roll of Velvia 50 in D76 for 7 minutes and they came out, but with very low contrast.

There seems to be some possibility of this reading this Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/groups/c41inbw/discuss/72157624951870711/) group.

And should I bother or just get rid of the film?
