  1. Hi Simon, here Valentin, writing from Argentina. I started filming super 8 with Canon Auto Zoom 518 SV, one year ago and only haved shot one cartridge (Kodak 50D). In a few days i'm going to shoot my second roll (a Kodak Ektachrome 100D) but I have some doubts. I had it in the fridge for like 3 o 4 months and now that i'm finally using it (i'm shooting it saturday) I took the box out today (left it in room, no direct sun hitting), and tomorrow i'm taking out the cartridge from the box and leaving it also in the room one day more (until saturday) so i acclimatize the film. I'm probably going to shoot Saturday and Sunday and then wait until next weekend for another trip. My questions are:

    - After shooting the first 2 days, how should I store the cartridge until shooting the next weekend or maybe the one after? It's okay to leave it in the camera?

    - After shooting ALL the cartridge, how should I store it until sending it to the lab?

    My first cartridge I shot (Kodak Visions 3 50D) had some problem (i didn't know much about protection and care of cartiridges and probably left the camera with film in the car in summer, think battery was low to, and some other problems maybe) and only exposed 60 seconds of the 3m that it's suposed to last, great deception...

    So before I shoot this (highly expensive) Kodak Ektachrome 100D, any warnings or tips before getting out to the fiel to shoot? 

    Thanks for you time.
