Just asking

Why, Fuji of course. You think I'd put ketchup on my Japanese fare?

Whats food?

ilona · May 19, 2006

Hi!

Great thread!
I'm kind of a(n analog) newbie and I was wondering whether I should put my film (and paper???) in the fridge. I guess I got an answer here!

I have some questions though. Are there any concerns with potential humidity? I guess yes. But then what can we do to prevent humidity or the formation of droplets (it happens in some fridges).
Also, what would be best for film: the vegetable drawer? A "regular" shelf mid-fridge?
I read that some of you freeze film. I didn't know that was possible. What are the consequences then? And how long would film take to unfreeze and be usable?

I do. And I am a 10 bid for each of those 120 TP rolls. No questions asked. Use the forum or dial in the private response. I need it now.

My darkroom refrigerator is as follows. Freezer holds two bricks of the hallowed Tech Pan in 120, reserved for adorable children, utterly beautiful women, and striking architectural and macro subjects. 'Fridge holds multi-bricks of Pan F Plus, Efke 25, Rollei 25 (Hi, my name is Chris, and I am a grainless junkie...HI CHRIS), and when my children are uncooperative, I yank out the Acros 100 and Rollei InfraRed.

Also, four bottles of Montrachet, two Cotes de Rhone, 24 Peroni, 12 assorted flavors of Gatorade, 24 Schweppe's club soda, 20 Pellegrino (Hi, my name is Chris, and I love carbination...HI CHRIS) and a bottle of San-J Tamari soy sauce.

10 bid, no offer... you're gonna have to pry those films out of my frozen dead hands! Or at the very least, tell me more about that Montrachet

I store the film on the regular shelves and keep it inside large plastic boxes that the supermarket sells for food storage.

Ahh, no offer. A trader's most dreaded response.

As for the Montrachet, it is a mischievous white wine that's subtle, yet makes a statement. Quite honestly, I don't drink white wine. I much prefer reds. Wines, not Commies. All Bordeaux, a few cabernet. Most American vintners are a century away from their european counterparts, but I will capitulate to a few wiley reserves.

Its really getting out of hand!

They are multiplying!
I had to envict all the green tea from the fridge (apart from that super matcha that my late sensei gave to me) and I am running out of space! I am eating and eating the chocolate but is not running out (the magic bottomless chocolate boxes) and there is no space left for dead animals!
Next it will be the vegetables but cheese and raki are going nowhere!

If I stop being able to buy film (hp5+, fp4+) locally then I am doomed. I am gonna have to look for a second fridge...

More random shit stuffed in the back, I'd try and see what it all is, but really, getting anything out of my fridge is like playing Jenga.
I drink a large amount of milk, and it used to be the top 2 shelfs for film, and the bottom one and door for milk (4 Gallons per trip to the store) but now I'll have to knock that down to 3 and keep one in the 'other' fridge.
The turnover rate in here is pretty damn quick, other than the little oddities in there, it'll be time to fill it up again in a couple months.

You fellows have quite the larder. I thought I had a lot but next to nothing in comparison! :>)

Of course, I'm ten minutes from a local shop that supplies a large amateur population and fifteen minutes from Calumet.

Exactly. If I had easy access to film, I wouldn't need to fill up my fridge.

I guess you can use a fridge to store food too, but I use it primarily for film. I know I'm going to sound nosey, but what else do you have in your fridge besides food (I'm talking film-wise)? Also, what part of the fridge do you store your film in? Ara

My husband got tired several years ago of having to hunt for the food amidst all the film and paper I kept in the refrigerator and freezer. So I have a small dedicated refrigerator/freezer in the garage for film and paper. Keeps the materials cleaner, besides making it easier to find the essentials--by that I mean film! One can live without food for a couple of weeks, but live without film? No way!

I'm about a 10 minute walk from Calumet, but c'mon, it's cold outside, who wants to walk all that way?

Neal · Mar 8, 2007

Dear RoBBo,

Hey, at least yours is open on saturday (Bensenville is closed) and the weather is getting warmer!

You can put food in a fridge? I had no idea..........I'm a bit of a lightweight really-just 15 or so rolls of Astia and Provia 120, a 5 pack of Velvia 220, 10x SFX 120 and a 35mm SFX that was free with UK B+W a while back, 3 Kodak IR 35mm and a 30m roll of Neopan 400...a mere bagatelle:rolleyes:

copake_ham · Mar 9, 2007

I cannot understand you folk! I only put my film in the freezer compartment. Don't you realize that the fridge is for batteries!
