[pure-silver] Re: old film

My experience with stored film -- particularly refrigerated -- is that it has a 
very long shelf life. I was amazed to find that a few boxes of Kodak RC paper 
survived very well even though shipped in a moving van in high summer from NYC 
to Oregon; and it was out of date as well. The paper made very good prints. 
Even TMax developer held up well under the same conditions. Only the 
photographer wilted.

Subject: [pure-silver] old film


Hi, I have a couple of boxes of old film. One box is dated 12/2005 and the 
other 03/2006. It is 4x5 sheet film. It has not been refrigerated all of that 
time; most of the time it was in a cabinet, but in the air conditioning. 
 
What happens to film as it ages? Does it get more sensitive, or less? Or 
anything?
