Re: [APML] To freeze, or not (Was: The good Supra 400pricereduction...)

Alan, grain tends to clump in the freezer, so it may appear larger on the
final scans.  However, a slight clumping is acceptable after a few years of
storage, than haveing NO red sensitive neg film at all.  By the way, look at
the spectral response of kodaks newest e100 slide film, it peaks in Ha very
strongly.  Im still testing Max800, which has a peak in Ha as well, but
unlike the e100, the other peaks are a bit larger.

Take Care,

Chris
