Best way seemed to be to pop the
films into a plastic bag after hypering, then pop the bag in the freezer -that
way any ice in the freezer doesn't get at the films. The only problem was
occasionally forgetting about where in the freezer the films were!

Hypered film
Dave,
Thanks for the tips on
hypered film storage. I guess the best
answer is to not wait to long to use the film, conditions permitting.

I have stored Hypered 2415 for weeks
by keeping it in a vacuum chamber at room temp. I did a bit of testing
along that avenue, and found the best way to store hypered film is to get a
Seal A Meal, blow forming gas into the bag, then seal it. Once you have
the bag and film sealed pitch it in the freezer. I had some film in for 3
months and had no measurable drop in sensitivity.

Hypered film
Although I don’t think
I’ve progressed far enough to begin using hypered films I have the following
question. If you purchase hypered film
from a dealer such as Lumicon can you store the film and if so how and for how
long?
