No. It was in a refrigerator that lost power due to a surge. The box was discovered with some molding and immediately opened for cleaning!

To add insult to injury, I just checked eBay and there's a box going for $300...

That's a sad loss! I loved and miss Ektalure.

I feel your pain. I have a separate freezer with a lock on it, not kidding, for such eventualities.

This happened to me and I lost 20 rolls of Plus-X. Don'r know how the moisture got in the plastic containers but the film stank of mildew. Now I always put everything in ziplock bags.
