What do you think folks , I built this kit out of this great forum , got it today , do I need to store films in fridge ?

[Lachlan 717]

Awesome camera!!!

As for the film, I keep some in the fridge, and some in the freezer.

The fridge stock obviously gets used first, being replaced by the frozen stock.

As to how much of each, that's something you'll need to work on!

Keep us informed on how the camera goes.

Don't put the instant film in the freezer.

Have fun!

Good for you!! You'll have the film tent thing licked in under a minute. Just think your setup over so you have a mental picture of where things are inside the tent...EC

Tents are a PITA to use. Can't you find a bathroom or closet that's light tight, maybe at night, maybe with towels under the door, to use instead?

Nice-looking camera. I can't read the lable. Who made it?

Good luck and hours of enjoyment with your new ensemble!

It's Shen Hao's new model, the XPO.

In my experience, tents are great to use. Changing bags are the crap option,only used when space and weight were an issue.

Mind you, the Harrison Pup isn't much bigger/heavier, and is so much easier to use.
