Hello everybody!
Iīm still quite new to the "film business" and have two newbe quastions regarding exspired film and its storage. In the end of 2013 I buyed some boxes of Velvia 50 4x5 that exspired 12/2012. I buyed them from a big german dealer, that for sure stored them professionaly (but not frozen). I put them into the freezer immediately. I have used some of them and had no problems.
But now I dropped some of the remaining boxes on to concrete while they were frozen and I was bringing them to a new freezer. Could there be any damage to the film from the shock like fissures ore something else? Maybe this is a silly question but I donīt want to get the problem when a picture is messed up.
And another question please. If I now use one of these boxes I wonīt put them back into the freezer. Is there any clue how long it takes, if I get noticable color shifts or base fog?
Best regards, Sebastian
