Luckily freezing film really does seem to preserve most of it. I just shot
some Velvia 50 that was frozen since 1999 and compared it to the newly
reissued Velvia 50 and could see no difference.
I fear I may have to buy another freezer, however, since I'm constantly at
the edge of my wife's tolerance concerning her bizarre desire to freeze food
vs. film.
