Max days for 5219 development

[panagiotis agapitou]

I'm planning to shoot 3 days just before Christmas and there is a posibility that the lab will develop the negative around the 5th or the 6th of January ... 

 

Do you think that this will have an affect on the quality ? 

Thanks !!!

It will be fine. Keep it refrigerated, but that's standard practice anyway.

I shot 400 ft of film spread over a couple of weeks during lockdown, and even after that kept the exposed neg in the fridge for a month until the lab opened again. Not a problem at all.

If you put it in the refrigerator you can wait months or even a year or more with no appreciable effect on quality.

I know this is an old thread but I had a few hundred feet of 5219 in a mag that traveled around in my trunk and was baked for days in 95 degree heat (black car as well)  and then it sat for a couple weeks more at room temp and then back in the trunk in the heat again (didn't finish the roll)  and in Rob's able hands at Cinelab it turned out great. I also use it in still cameras like my nikonos all summer at the beach with no effects. YMMV

agree......film holds well and much more rugged than people think......
