storing film in the fridge

[Assaf]

Hi there,
I currently have ~20 unexposed rolls in my fridge, all new and sealed.
Recently I notices that there's moisture in the interior of the fridge. It's an old one and I'm not going to fix it.
Can it hurt the film? Anyone has experience with that?
Should I - take the film out/throw it away/ignore the entire thing?
Thanks
Assaf

"all new and sealed " - They are fine.

Don't forget to....

Don't forget to....

let 'em warm up to room temp before opening the plastic cases (or wrappers if it's 120). THAT"S when you'd have to worry about moisture condensing on the film itself.

This reminds me of the time I left an exposed roll, in it's plastic tub, in my jeans pocket and my wife washed them! The tub didn't open but I was panicking as to what I'd get back from the processors. Would the colours be washed out? As it happens the results were good and if anything the colours looked more saturated than I usually got back...I'm not kidding!

gee, I keep my film in a closet with a/c and I never have problems even a year or so after expiration. I must like to live dangerously.

If the films are in the can, or in the wrapper (120) you're fine. That's what the cans are for (for one thing), moisture protection. Warm them up for a while and you'll be all set. I let my frozen films warm up overnight and they are fine.
