Christopher Woodhouse a Ãcrit :
With all the talk of APX25 in a freezer, I found a some Velvia 50, two years
out of date, but kept in a freezer. Is it likely to be any good?
Yes. A slow film like Velvia should keep for about 10 years if kept
frozen. Color balance will probably slowly shift towards magenta and you
might expect it to be 1/3 or 1/2 stop slower in ten years. If it was a
B&W film it would probably keep for 30 years with a slight increase in
base fog and gradual loss of 1/2 to 1 stop of speed.
