Right,

Thanks to RJ, I have a seriously excessive amount of film in my fridge!!

Last month I stocked up on about 15 rolls of black and white 120 film (2 ilford Fp4's from college and something like 14 Lucky SHD400's from MrCad, but one went immediately for test-roll purposes). However I was running low on b&w 35mm. I had 2 rolls left of bulk-rolled Ilford Pan F+ 50 (One's in the camera). So I bought up a load of film from RJ. I ended up buying 250ft's worth!!! A 200ft roll, and a 17m roll.

About a half hour ago I finished rolling all the 17m roll and filled about 10 films at 36exp plus 2 exposures either side for leader/computrol.

(This will all get used by september if I'm lucky.)

Anyways, I get to the fridge, where I store a box of film, and there's no space!!

I've also got 5 tins super-outdated kodak film that I got from TimeFreeze, and all the 120 films are in their little boxes.

So I clear out the boxes, leaving the tins bare, and the 120 films in their foils, and I can just about squeeze space for all that film! the 200ft roll is in its box sat on top, however.


Nightmare! If I wasn't living with my parents the whole fridge would be full, but we can't have everything ;)


How do the rest of you cope?

Do you even keep your film in cold storage?

the hot weather has prompted me to ask you all, since I can see my film going grain-tacular by the end of the week if I'm not careful! (EDIT: in England there's record heat, sorry I should have made that clearer)


Thanks
 
I got one off the large crisper drawers stuffed with film 35,120,220 and an entire drawer in my freezer filled with 16mm kodachrome and 35 tail-ends. one of these days I'll load some of my movie stock in to canisters.
