Freezing exposed quickloads.

I have about 200 sheets of exposed Fuji Acros quickloads (that are about 7 months post expiration date) that I will only be able to develop slowly. They were frozen or refrigerated up till exposure. I have historically not tried to refrigerate them or freeze them after opening the silver metal bag.

Would I be able to place them into double Ziplock bags with a Silica dessicant pack and freeze untill I am able to develop them. Would I get any condensation or damage to the opened quickloads by freezing.

Thanks.

Sincerely,

Hany.

Good Afternoon, Hany,

As long as you have conditions of reasonably low humidity when you put the Quickloads into plastic bags, you should have no particular problem with freezing. On the other hand, I doubt that leaving them at room temperature would lead to any difficulty either, assuming that you will finish the processing within a few months.

Hany,

I agree with Konical. I would try to process the film as quickly as you can. There is always some concern about fading of the latent image.
