Freezing film will make it last almost forever past exp date. Refridgeration will keep it 5 years past. You might also consider bulk film and rolling your own. Easy to do and the only upfront costs are the bulk loader and film cassettes. I would recommend buying these item new as used ones may not be light proof. There is also the advantage of being able to roll short rolls for special projects. _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp.
RE: [pinhole-discussion] Film Storage
I have been freezing film for many years (XTOL developer too) and it is great. Recently I read a note for someone who mentioned putting it into an insulate bag first to protect it from the effects of the automatic defroster.. haven't tried it yet I've been able to pick up a LOT of film from Ebay that freezes just fine.. andy -Original Message- From: pinhole-discussion-admin@p at ???

Subject: [pinhole-discussion] Film Storage Hey, I've a question hopefully some of you will be able to answer. Recently i've realized that buying film in bulk is a whole lot cheaper than buying individual rolls(i know, this is more a 35mm question, than pinhole, but it is pertanent). i'm sure you've all realized this a long time ago, but i'm young, i have an excuse. so i was wondering what the best way to store film is. should i freeze it? any help would be appreciated. thanks, --- Steve Bell --- veracity...@earthlink.net / http://www.unbeknownst.org/~insurrective --- In fact, rock, rather than being an example of how freedom can be achieved within the capitalist structure, is an example of how capitalism can, almost without a conscious effort, deceive those whom it oppresses...So effective has the rock industry been in encouraging the spirit of optimistic youth take-over that rock's truly hard political edge, it's constant exploration of the varieties of youthful frustration, has been ignored and softened. --Michael Lydon ___ Post to the list as PLAIN TEXT only - no HTML Pinhole-Discussion mailing list Pinhole-Discussion@p at ??? unsubscribe or change your account at http://www.???/discussion/
Re: [pinhole-discussion] Film Storage
Yes, freezing it is definitely best. Last year I just finished some Konica Infrared that had been in the freezer since 1992 and it worked like fresh film (I'm sure that others have older stories).
