water

[j_buck]

i had 6 undeveloped MF bw film (ilford hp5 and fuji acros) stored in a plastic box in the fridge and somehow water came inside of the box

and i noticed it probably after 1-2 weeks.

all the film were still factory sealed(carton box + plastic/foliage)

 

are they still usable?

or I shouldn't risk it?

 

thanks alot

<p>If everything was factory sealed, it should be fine.</p>

<p>When you open them from their foil wrappers see if there is any sign of water damage. If not, should be fine.<br /><br />There is no need to keep B&W film in the refrigerator. It will be fine for years at room temperature unless you live someplace unusually hot without air conditioning.</p>

<p>Someone recently posted about leaking factory sealed packages.</p>

<p>But normally they should stay sealed and stay dry.</p>

<p>My basement darkroom stays nice and cool, even in the summer, so I keep most film down there.</p>
