Not yet, but I&#039;m sure it&#039;s fine.&nbsp; All of my stock is dated Febuary 2006.&nbsp; Plenty of folks on RFF have been using it without any problems.&nbsp; Check out the threads over there on it.<br /><br />I have deep-frozen Ilford Pan-F stockpiled in 120 size, hundreds of rolls.&nbsp; When frozen it will last virtually forever, without aging at all, because of it&#039;s slow-speed characteristics.&nbsp; I&#039;ll wager it would easily last fifty years, deep-frozen, probably with zero or near-zero aging effects.<br /><br />I have 70mm Plus-X 70mm film in the freezer, somebody gave me fifteen rolls of the stuff.&nbsp; It is the old Plus-X formulation &quot;the old EI 80 original -good- stuff &quot;.&nbsp; It dates from 1981 and 1982, and it&#039;s always been frozen.&nbsp; Yes, it has a bit of base fog, but it is -fine-.&nbsp; A bit of extra exposure, to push it up the straight-line, and normal development does the job 8)

<br />I noticed that the last time I was on line at Freestyle. 50asa. How outdated is it? Has any of you guys tried it yet? <br />

When I bought it they pulled it out of the fridge (compare that to the EFKE KB25 they simply pulled out of a lower drawer&nbsp; ???) so it should be okay. I keep it frozen at home.

Don&#039;t you guy&#039;s have problems when you take the films out of the freezer? Condention problems or so?<br />I even have to be carefull when taking films out the fridge when it the weather is a bit moist.. :-*

I can&#039;t ever recall having any issues regarding condensation coming from the film being frozen.&nbsp; Of course, you have to leave the film sealed in it&#039;s original packaging, and allow sufficent time for it to warm up to room temperature, before cracking it open.&nbsp; <br /><br />But I have never had problems re-freezing films, either.&nbsp; My deep-freeze is a frost-free model, and it maintains a constant temperature of zero degrees.&nbsp; Low enough to keep ice cream solidly frozen

I haven&#039;t had any issues...just be sure to leave the film out to defrost slowly before using it. For a bulk roll, I won&#039;t touch it for half a day to be safe.

mm, <br />I&#039;ll try your frozen recipe one day when I should stumble on a large stock of cheap film, THX.
