Given a box and a half of old Velvia 50 QL

[mark]

The previous owner has been sick for a long time and wanted them to get used. They were not stored perfect as he was planning to use them right away before getting seriously sick for almost a year now. They were stored on a shelf in a bed room. They are one month out of date. I want to use them right away and they are in my fridge, but should I expect any strangeness? I doubt it, but would like to hear from others with more experience than myself.

Yes, I think you should immediately send it to me, so you won't have to deal with out of date issues.

Actually, you shouldn't have any problem at all. Fuji films seem to age quite well. Have fun, I still have a box of 50 that I'm holding onto.

Thanks Robert. We actually had plans of heading to a beach this summer and I was going to take some shots of waves. Wouldn't you know it, I get the boxes of film and the trip falls through. Oh well, I'll have to settle for sunset and sunrise on norther AZ red rocks, plus wild flower season is coming up.
