I've read through all the threads on refrigeration of film and would like to know how the small college dorm refrigerators perform for film storage. I have enough film that it's become an inconvenience to store it in my food fridge, where the beer and soda should be!
The big box store has a couple of inexpensive dorm fridges. One model is just a fridge with limited temperature controls (cold, colder, coldest) and the other has a separate freezer section with its own separate door (also limited temp control). I have never frozen film, should I consider the one with the freezer, price being the same, and start freezing the stock I'm not currently drawing from?
Should I be concerned by lack of fine-grain temp control, or just shove a cheap thermometer in the box and tinker with the temp until it's in the right zone?
What temp do you refrigerate at? Each manufacturer has slightly different recommendations. I'm primarily a Portra, HP5 and Tri-X shooter.
Thanks
Bob
