Storage in General
Hi All, here goes for a really dumb question.
Most replies in the threads refer to storing film and paper in fridges / freezers for longevity. My little darkshed has no permanant electrical supply and no room for a fridge even if it had. No room in the house for another appliance and no garage. Best I can do is ambient temp in the house. This has never really cropped up before for me as I always bought small quantities of paper etc, but have recently taken a larger delivery and will not use everything up quickly, maybe not for months. Anybody else have this "problem" and how do you get round it ? Ian Last edited by CambsIan; 5th June 2012 at 08:51 AM. Reason: spelling mistakes |

All my film and paper is stored in an ambient temperature of about 18 / 22C and I have yet to notice any fall off in performance over a period of years.

I have been doing photography since year dot( it seems that long) and I have never kept any film paper chemicals in the fridge or freezer I keep my paper, film, in a plastic box with a lid and my chemicals in another plastic box with a lid ,and keep them out of the sun or away from a radiators ,and I keep them in a cool place .this works for me and keeps everything nice and tidy.

Exactly the same as me. To this day I have never stored film in a fridge, but kept them in a cupboard away from heat and light, and have never encountered any problems whatsoever. Again, chemicals and paper are kept in the darkroom cupboard.

Hi Guys, all of the same opinion, so ambient it is.
Many thanks for taking the time to reply. Ian |
