This is the first strongly negative info I've ever heard on this
subject. And strangely enough it comes no more than 5 minutes after
receiving the latest batch from Airborne Rxpress and sticking it in the
freezer. Needless to say, I went and moved it to the fridge. Better
safe than sorry. It will last 2 years tops, so no matter what it will
be fine where it now resides.

I'd like to hear more about your film in the freezer experience. Did
this happen more than once? Or is it possible you got a bad batch?

Thanks,
Alan
