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!

Maybe soon Ilford 12x20-- No camera yet!

Good shooting,

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

Scala in 120
Tech Pan in 4x5
plenty of other goodies

Several thousand feet of random 16mm and 35mm movie film stock... mostly Ilford FP4, Agfa ST8 Ortho, etc...

Some 4x5 Shanghai 100 and other Chinese sheet film of unknown provenance,
.. and a roll of exposed FP4. Hmm, what's on that? Maybe I'll process it right now and find out.

Glad to see that I am not the only one with boxes of Tech pan, also about 15 rolls of 35mm of the stuff. Otherwise some Tmax in two flavours, Tri-X and Velvia in 4X5 FP4 in WP a little of everything in 120 and 35mm.

Paper is in the basement for the summer. Need to look to see if anything is in the freezer for supper perhaps.

I am still relatively new to LF, so I just have about 10 sheets left of a box of 4x5 FP4+. I am sure that some day I will look back on this time in my life and wonder how I ever managed to live with so little available.

Aye Dread Pirate Robbins, ye didn't then sail in ye troubled waters a few years back when Ilford went through bankruptcy reorganization and Kodak closed the sheet film line down and moved the shebang to a new, "dust free" building, dryin' up the supply of both Ilford and the yellow stuff.
It was the sort of revolting development that can cause an ordinary fellow to become an accumulator of emulsions!

I shot the last of my Forte stash, purchased during that sad period in history, quite a few months ago though and I still have some Efke floating around somewhere---I just know it!

I still get flashbacks:rolleyes:

John Kasaian

Well. I'd thought I'd shot up the last of the Forte! This morning, in a file cabinet I found:

Film
Ilford HP-5+ 5x7---25 sheets
Forte Fortepan 200 8x10---25 sheets
Arista APH 8x10---100 sheets
Efke PL25 8x10---50 sheets
Arista 400 8x10---25 sheets(same as Ilford HP-5+)

Paper
Arista Classic Fiber Grade 4 Glossy 8x10---25 sheets (same as Ilford Galerie)
Emaks Fiber Glossy G2 8x10---25 sheets
Slavich Unibrom 160 20x24---10 sheets(actually this was behind the file cabinet)

I've turned into quite a pack rat!

Everybody please join me at Bruce's for soup this evening, and tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow.....:eek:

Freezer #1
Film:
7x17 TMY
8x10 TMY

Freezer #2
Film:
5x7 TMY
4x5 Tri-X
4x5 FP4 (expired in the 80's)
100 sheet box of Tri-X (expired in 88)
35mm Tri-X
various 35mm transparency films

Paper:
Original Zone VI Brilliant Grades 2&3
Various VC Papers including:
Kodak Polymax, Agfa MC111, Oriental, Zone VI (all 8x10)
Various 11x14 & 16x20 VC and Graded papers (not very much)

Darkroom
Azo, Azo, Azo and more Azo (mostly Canadian grade 2, but some Rochester Grade 2, Canadian grade 3, and about 350 sheets of grade 4)
Lodima (8x10 and 7.5 x 10)
Haloid
Convera (old agfa contact printing paper)

Office
even more Canadian grade 2 Azo in 8x10 & 20x24, a couple boxes of grade 3 in 8x10 and 20x24, a couple boxes of the old Rochester grade 2 in 8x10, a box of Canadian grade 3 in 8x10, a box of 8 1/2x 11 grade 2 Azo and a box of 8 1/2 x 11 Grade 2 Azo in the "E" surface.
J&C Nuance 8x10 (2 boxes)
J&C Nuance 16x20 (2 or 3 boxes)

with the exception of Lodima, I don't expect to be purchasing much in the way of film or paper for quite a while.

In case you haven't already guessed, I took advantage of J&C's moving sale to stock up on the 7x17 & 5x7 TMY...I saved enough on the film to purchase Freezer #1 and pay the electric bill for the next 10 years.

Hey Bruce, if you see anything that interests you, just let me know and I'll trade you for a copy of the print that "got away" during the yankee swap....you know, the one V said was the first print you ever made of something that was actually living :p
