kirpi on "Old film"

Latent images on film do degrade, definitely.
Nonetheless, there is no standard reply to your question. It all much depends on many variables: kind of film (B/W, color, slide,...), speed (Iso number), quality (professional versus consumer), storage temperature, and more...
All in all I am personally confident that you will get usable results from that film.
On the average, you can expect a drop in contrast and some veil: tell your story to the processing lab, as they can help with an ad hoc chemical baths service.

Good luck :-)

Hello everybody,
I found a roll of exposed film left inside my old camera, yesterday. I think I used it last some 5 years ago. It remained inside my wardrobe closed in a box. If I develop it, can I see something? So, I don't want to pay processing for nothing. I wonder how long is possible to conservate film without developing?
Thank you!

Soon
