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?

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.

You can refreeze film as often as you wish. It's not like steak.
Just keep the containers closed so that you don't get condensation or
frost.
Rangefinder cameras don't go out of adjustment often unless they are
banged. Most can be re-adjusted by turning a simple screw while focused
on infinity. Directions for specific cameras can sometimes be found
online.

The only film that doesn't freeze well is Polaroid. 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...

Are you a chiropractor?

(For the rest - don't freak out. You don't need vaseline to pop a roll in
your axilla. Axilla is, FAPP, your armpit.)

If the roll's in a foil wrapper, vaseline won't hurt it. :-)

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!
