I've just bought at 40% normal price some boxes of Fuji Provia and Velvia Quickloads to use on a few trips away from home later this year when its impractical to use film holders, its expiry dates are this June and Septembter. There's not enough space in the fridge without throwing food away, but my wife won't agree with my priorities. I've never frozen film before. Is the best way to freeze quickloads to remove the sealed foil packets from the box and simply freeze them?
I've also bought very cheap 10 boxes of Fuji Velvia 50 a year past expiry. I've previously used similar expired film with no problem. I'm having 2 sheets from this batch processed tomorrow, and if OK, will also freeze. Is it best to enclose each box in just one seal up polythene bag, or should I also then enclose the whole 10 boxes in cling film to further lessen the chance of moisture getting in?
Any advice appreciated. I know I should have a dedicated film fridge, but that's something I'm working towards.
