    What photo film and paper is lurking in your household appliances?

    I put my new box of Fomabron N111 in the freezer and out of curiosity took an inventory of what is lurking in there.
    What else do you do in 108 deg weather, but stand in front of an open freezer door for as long as you can justify doing so? I was quite astonished! A lot of stuff I thought I had---wasn't there (like a mountain of APHS, Ilford FP-4+ and Fp-5+ and what happened to all the 5x7 stuff?) and some of the stuff that was in there I didn't even know I had---what a nice surprise!
    Here's whats in the ol' Maytag:

    Paper:
    Foma Fomabron N111 Glossy---100sheets 8x10
    Arista Classic G2 Glossy-------250 sheets 8x10(this is the same as Ilford Galerie)
    Kodak AZO G2-----------------25 sheets 8x10
    Kodak AZO G3-----------------50 sheets 8x10

    Film:
    Arista.eduUltra 100 iso--------200 sheets 8x10(this is the same as Fomapan 100)
    Kodak TMY--------------------25 sheets 8x10
    Kodak TXT--------------------50 sheets 8x10
    plus several rolls of 9" and 5" wide Kodak b&w aerial film

    What have you got next to your Eskimo Pies and Popsicles?

    Hi John,

    My freezer is packed almost solid with;

    Ilford Fp4, Hp5 4x5 5x7 8x10
    Ilford Pan F 50 (120)
    Ilford HP5 35 mm

    Many boxes of Fuji Velvia, Provia 4x5

    Decreasing boxes of Kodak E100VS-no more readyloads!

    Film:
    A box of 8x10 HP5 (just took one out, will reorder soon)
    Some 5x7 Tri-X and T-Max 400
    Some 4x5 Tri-X

    Paper:
    Lots of Forte 5x7 (used for 35mm prints)
    A box each of 8x10 Galerie grades 2 and 3
    Several boxes of Forte 8x10

    In the darkroom:
    My Arista RC 8x10 proofing paper
    Lodima 7.5x10 (chopped to make gorgeous 5x7 contacts)
    Azo grades 2 and 3 (for similarly gorgeous 8x10 contact prints)

    Also frozen, beneath the photographic stuff: A side of White Park beef (yum!). Enough quart yogurt containers of chicken, beef, and turkey stock to float the carrier Enterprise.

    I don't have the time or patience to do a complete inventory of my two photo freezers, but I can tell you there are several hundred sheets of Polymax Fineart in 11x14 and 16x20 sizes and ample supply of TMY in 5x7. What might be interesting to those who remember the good old days, is that I also have most of a brick of Kodachome 64-120. The last processing run for this size was over ten years ago! I also remember seeing most of a brick of Panatomic-X in 135. I also have a box of Neofin Blau that I recall did magical stuff with Pan-X exposed in the Leica I no longer own, but I don't think I'll ever mess with it again.

    fun!

    I just took a look in the bottom drawer of the fridge and found....

    two 100 sheet boxes of HP5+ in 4x5
    25 rolls of 35mm about evenly distributed between Kodak, Fuji and Ilford.


    the paper is in the closet - no room in the fridge and there's half a box of 320TXP in the cupboard....

    I've got three freezers occupied around the country just in case california slides off into the ocean. It'd be too dangerous to open the little film freezer in the kitchen as it's stuffed.
    Tons of Velvia in every format.
    Lots of HSI in 4x5
    Konica 750 ir in 120
    Efke 25 up to 8x10, lots in 120
    APX 100 in 4x5
    APX 25 in 120
    APX 25 bulk spools
    Scala in 120
    Tech Pan in 4x5
    plenty of other goodies
