Hi: I've processed some sheet film where the exposure was made 8 years before the film was processed. They turned out - actually very nicely :)
I found a couple of sheet film holders with fim in them in the bottom of a box when housecleaning. It was Tri-x sheet film. I processed them and discovered pictures I knew I had taken 8 years earlier. They were just stored in boxes, but in Saskatoon - which usually cool and dry most of the time :) Gord On Wed, 1 Aug 2001, Scott Sellers wrote: > Hello Dennis, > > On Monday, July 30, 2001, Dennis Johanson wrote: > > In order to rationalize (not a word that comes naturally when speaking > > about pinhole photography) the handling of my pinhole photography I hope > > that someone could be kind enough to help med with > > the following: > > > How long can exposed photo paper used as negative be stored before > > processing? > > > Any special storage requirements? > > > Good shooting! > > I believe once the silver halides are exposed, they become less > stable, and remain so until developed/fixed.
