If it's hot dry, no worries. If it's hot wet, I would at least toss some dessicant packets in the case. Otherwise the film emulsion may become sticky and do odd things. Might even peel off the base if it's hot enough and wet enough for a long enough time, I'm not entirely sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K Borowski Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 A couple of ice packs may help if it is really hot, as well as not carrying them around in a black case, as black absorbs heat, but try not to put ice packs in a place where evaporating water vapor can get to the film.

I don't know about icepacks. Ice creates condensation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
