  Q. storage

Asked by William Stratton    (K=43) on 5/23/2005 
How should 35mm film be stored? I know it needs to be kept cold, but should it be stored in a freezer or a refridgerator?

I use my fridge , Ive known some that use the freezer but have not tested this for myself as i am happy with what works for me.
The main diffrence from whats been stated is the sealed box with silica gel inside too.

Thanks Scott, but you lost me there at the end. Are you using some kind of box with a moisture absorbsion pack in the frirge?

Film is stored in contains which are filled with Nitrogen. NEVER open them before putting them in the fridge, as that will let in moisture, which condses, which then can cause spots on your film.

I store mine in the fridge, others store theirs in the freezer. Either way works, just let it get to room temperature before opening, otherwise -- you guessed it -- condensation.

THANKS, I learn something new every day.

yes roul is right about the warming up part.
The part at the end is important I use silica gel sachets in sealed air tight containers.
The silca gel reduces any chances of condenstaion due to air moisture as it sucks it up.

I store unused & unopened pro color film in the refridgerator. B&W film in the freezer. This alows the film to be used beyond expiration date. (Just used B&W film 3 years past expiration date and works great!) Take out film for 1/2 hour to get to room temperature before opening canister to avoid condensation.
