Freezer life of B&W film?

Don't know about infrared, but frozen PanF will last forever and a few days.

I had a brick PanF 120 stored at room temp (as room decoration) since 1989- shot some (a few weeks ago) just for giggles (Rolleicord Vb) 1/2 box speed and a dab of benzotriazole, d76 1:1 at 1.3x time, 68degrees = beautiful,highlights (detail in white T-shirt) and shadows beautiful.

Just used 5 rolls of the old Delta 100 that were dated 1998 and exposed at box speed and they came out just fine. Freezers are wonderful things, I have just discovered most of the remains of a pro-pack of E100SW also dated 1998 hidden away near the back and plan to try that out next. And I probably have about 80-100 rolls of the old RVP tucked away in there dated anywhere from the early to the mid 2000's. One of these years I need to catalog all the stuff that lives in my film freezer, but that would take the joy of discovery out of the process.

Just finished a roll of Anscopan 80 expired in 1972.. check here for results http://www.flickr.com/photos/a_peek_in_my_world/tags/vehicles/ -- there's some fog but overall it's OK I would say.. you can also have a look at http://www.flickr.com/groups/1173298@N20/pool/with/4874822061/ for tons of examples..
