jasarsenault Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 About 3 years ago I shot a short documentary on Kodak 7222. I have not shot anything since, but have been thinking about it lately. I have quite a few roles of stock left in my freezer...they have never been taken out and have never been opned, but they have been in there for a few years. What does everyone think? Should I just suck up the cost and buy some new stock, or would it be reasonably safe to use this stuff up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give the film 24 hours to defrost before opening the cans. Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member John Pytlak RIP Posted May 31, 2007 Premium Member Share Posted May 31, 2007 I agree, the film is probably fine. But after years of storage, I would still advise running a short test before shooting anything critical. My biggest concern would be physical issues like ferrotyping or ice crystals, if there were excess moisture in the cans during freeze/thaw cycling.
