Freezer, refridgerator or closet?

[johannielscom]

cellar / basement.

temperature below 12 degrees celcius throughout the year. good enough for me and my films.

I never buy more than 10 rolls of B&W 36x, (2 months worth or so) so, my 40 year old or so 6'h x 4.5w' x 2'd double door solid Walnut Armoire fine.

I know it isn't much, but, it's all I can afford. It's enough, it keeps me connected with Film Photography.

Everywhere!

Good motivation to run an inventory!

Currently have three large ziplock bags in the refrigerator, 2 B&W and 1 Color (about 60 rolls). The goal is to rotate the stock using oldest date first. Usually replenish inventory after using 15 to 20 rolls.

I have purchased expired rolls on a couple of occasions and used that stock immediately.

Usually a camera with me every day and keep two or three rolls in the bag.

Most of it in the freezer, some in the fridge, some in various cameras.

Update from post #16 in 2008. I have 3 rolls of Neopan 1600 in a drawer in my fridge, rest are in 2 bags in my room. My house stays pretty cool.

In an empty computer case beside my desk!

This thread is old... Why the sudden bump?

It's all Juan's fault 😛
And mine for replying also 😀

It's all good 🙂

FWIW, I got back into film two months ago, using Tri-X and TMY-p3200 stored in my freezer since about 2000. Both are quite visibly fogged, but I have been using them, and they worked fine. I just recently got some Arista Premium (faux Tri-X) and here's a comparison of the fresh with my old: http://i.minus.com/iSAihzYTwdDv.jpg

Same developer, time, etc.

refridgerator, no more than 15-16 rolls at a time. 4 in there now; waiting on 12 rolls of hp5 ...

 

[Cyriljay]

Some in the bag and some in a small stock in the Fridge!

 

[DougFord]

... Da fridge

I live in a very warm place. Most of my film is in the freezer. The rest, which I expect to use within the next months is in the fridge.

I voted refrigerator, but some rolls are in the freezer, and some others in a shoulder bag where the camera(s) usually travel.
The scheme is the usual: from the freezer to the fridge, then to the camera bag, an then to the camera.
BTW, I still have a can of Plus X that was stored for almost 18 years in an anctarctic base, later brought to the continent in the icebreaker´s freezer, then to a home freezer for the past 32 years. Another can that came from the same place and time performed fine.

Thanks for that Rob. The definitive guide for sure! Answers all the important questions and then some.

wow. on a shelf, in a camera bag. my house is airconditioned year round, and stays at a delightful 71 degrees.

Fridge. The big freezer isn't working and the small one that is part of the fridge is too small.

 

[FlyingLotus]

Instant films in the fridge, and 35mm and 120mm in the freezer.

 

[jasonrutter]

I keep most of my film in the freezer. I them move it to the fridge for 24 hours and then let it come up to room temp depending on the time of year. I keep exposed but unprocessed film in the fridge until I can get to processing it.

I have dedicated an entire freezer to storing film, and the fridge portion to storing my beer and a little film. Need to keep priorities straight.

C-41 and Delta 3200 go to Freezer, Tri-X and Acros to fridge.
