Refrigerate or Freeze?

[Sirius Glass]

I read the Kodak sheet but have a couple questions:
- Differences between 120 and 135? I have a Tupperware with rolls of 120 in their foil wrappers and rolls of 135 in their plastic containers in the fridge. The fridge is a constant 33 degrees F. Is there a difference in container? Does 135 fare differently due to having the tag sticking out of its canister?
- I have a deep freeze but do not necessarily want to freeze the film due to the warm up time. An hour before use when frozen?

I use the original packaging for freezing unexposed and unopened canisters and foil packages], and ZipLok bags or Tupperware for opened film and exposed film in the refrigerator.

... Does 135 fare differently due to having the tag sticking out of its canister?

No.

I have a deep freeze but do not necessarily want to freeze the film due to the warm up time. An hour before use when frozen?

When the film feels about room temperature which is around an hour is enough time.

Awesome. Thanks for the information. I will throw the stock I know that I will not be shooting anytime soon into the freezer and leave a few rolls of 135 and 120 in fridge.

I don't think with black and white film film it makes a great deal of difference if it's stored at room temperature or either fridge or freezer if you don't live in Death Valley, but colour film is best stored frozen if this isn't possible refrigeration is the next best thing, but the speed and colours really suffer if it's stored at room temperature for long periods.

I have 4x5 TXP frozen since 1988 with the same fog as film that's been at room temperature. I still keep film frozen as long as the foil is not opened or out of the 135 pastic canister.

Uh, tell your wife that if you keep the film in the refrigerator and freezer, there will be less food. Less food means that her weight will go down.

Freezing is better. See if you can find a used refrigerator freezer.

and how long to you intend on keeping your wife?

After 24 years of service, I declared myself a free agent. I got the two children. The ex got my dog. The dog was pissed. Best decision ever!
