    Film from the Fridge and Load

    Hi Guys

    As you know the film from the fridge should place under normal temperatur and then load,but I'm wondering what will happen if I load directly and shoot.Will it make the pics look like light leak ? Since I saw a topic about the frost on the film will make the pic looks overexposure,anyone please help me on this ?

    The resultant moisture from condensation could cause streaking or staining.

    Polar expeditions shot "frozen" film all the time and it works just like unfrozen film. The film that went to Moon got how cold?

    You don't have to or shouldn't want to freeze your film quite so religiously anyway... maybe if you don't intend to use it for months or years, or it's 120 degrees out. But it's pretty rugged stuff.

    Post them here and let the experts pontificate. That way it becomes a resource to help others in the future.

    It sounds like a light leak from other sources though.
