Though after getting the expired stuff that a professional photographer sent me ( all those fuji films in the bottom right ) I had to move the puckers to the big fridge. (I fear laying them on their side might leak out of the caps).

You still have some room on the top shelf for some more film and I fear you are running a bit low on "developing fluid"!

Those bottles do not look "fresh" and appear to have been opened for too long. I would suggest you rapidly use up the current supply of fluid and buy some fresher stuff!

Nice. However, I have one issue. Don't you know that only brown colored development fluid is the choice of the Pros ? Most likely the reason being is that it doesn't need to be cold; hence more space in your film fridge.

SteveH, I just made a stock of microphen developer long while ago, and that was the excess ammount i didnt think i'd go thru, so filled it to the brim, caped it off and put it into the fridge in case I ever needed it.

I moved the ektachrome upto the second shelf just above the bottom, more room on the bottom now.

... I need more B&W, anyone got expired stuff? lol.

Thats just a old backup microphen in the bottle, all my development stuff is in the bathroom (ilfosol S, rapid fixer, kodak indicator stop, HC-110, etc)

Far as the alkie (as my wife calls it), we rarely drink, so yes those bottles havent been touched in a while.

I believe that all that liquor is taking up valuable space. What would be a good idea of how to use it up...I mean its not like it is potable or anything?

A man after my own heart.

Have you shot any of that EPY yet? It looks awfully old. I'm worried about its keeping properties, as I suspect it will be the next to go.

I would, but I think USPS / Customs doesnt allow me to ship them without I think either a liquor license or something to the note of hazardous materials.

Oh and theres more in the fridge now, my co-worker gave me a 150 foot of Kodak UltraTec, and two 100 foot rolls of Slide Duplicating Film (Kodak and Fuji) , says the contrast on the slide duplicating film is "flat as a pancake".
