Mixing Film w/Food in a Freezer

[neil poulsen]

I'm about to purchase a freezer for storing film and darkroom paper.

In case we also want to use this freezer for some food storage, has anyone ever experienced a problem with storing darkroom paper and/or film with food products in the same freezing compartment?

[Tin Can]

Only when the freezer failed and stuff started melting and leaking...

I quickly got the film out, then tossed the food.

But some film is sealed, such as X-Ray.

Yes, the food takes up too much room. I'm glad i'm not married, wife would bitch about all the stuff in the freezer. I like fresh food.

She: I can't fit the ground beef in the freezer. It's always completely filled with your film.

Me: I've told you a eleven million times, don't exaggerate. It's never more than 85%.

Don't store it with frozen fish unless you have a backup generator.

You can keep food, film and paper together in the refrigerator or freezer. You will find that film and paper do not cook well and provide neither a savory taste nor healthful benefits.

Is that true if you put it in the soup?

Don't worry about food. There will be no room left for it in the freezer.

I started out with one shelf in our full-size freezer for film, now I'm up to about half (quickloads take a lot of room) but dare not push further. I've never had a problem - all my film is in heavy duty zip-lock bags of appropriate sizes. My film never smells funny, but then again it's been a long time since I stored Durian in that freezer.
