Refreezing Film Ok?
If I were to take 50 rolls of film [120/35mm] on my vacation and not use all of
it, is it ok to refreeze the film without any negative effects on the film? Also I am looking to buy a Mamiya 7/7ll and see that the sell range finder adjustment kits, is it common that they need regular adjustments? Are they that fragle that I should be concerned taking it into the feild? Regards, Gary |

Yes, as long as the film is in an airtight container (such as a 35mm film canister or the foil wrap that usually surrounds a roll of 120) that has never been opened. If you have opened the container, the air inside might be humid enough that water might condense inside during freezing, leaving spots on the film. |

Freezing screws up the developing chemicals, but refrigeration is OK. |

For a foil packed 120 roll, take it out of the freezer and pop it in your
axilla for ten minutes before opening... I have done that for 40 years and never had a problem... Now the aroma of the discarded foil may be another issue entirely, however... denny "Andrew Koenig" wrote in message ...

No, but I stayed at a Red Roof Inn last night... Does that count?
Sorry about slipping into doctor talk, but I subconciously assumed that any adult capable of developing film, etc., will have adequate vocabulary for the major external body parts.... I guess that was the pits, eh! denny "jjs" wrote in message Are you a chiropractor? (For the rest - don't freak out. You don't need vaseline to pop a roll in your axilla.
