Subject: [pure-silver] Refrigerate film?
Hi all,
I just got a batch of Foma 200 and Rollei Retro 100 and
400 for my summer's shooting. Should I keep in the
fridge?
Thanks,
Elias
The popular wisdom is certainly to refrigerate film or
even freeze it. It should be in its original wrapping.
Partly used boxes of sheet film tend to accumulate moisture
which condenses when cooled but the original wrapping is
sealed.
I don't know what the optimum temperature is for
storage, its possible that Kodak published something about
this. Kodak's "professional" color film is intended to be
kept refrigerated until time of use to prevent drift of
color balance. Once removed from the refrigerator the film
should be left to warm up before opening again to prevent
condensation.
