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

["Pierre " <p_sy@club-internet.fr>]

Hi to you all,

i am a newbie here. I live in France. I have placed in freezer forty rolls
of good Supra for more than six months and the Gamma Cygni last week result
of the firt "defrozen" roll was a great field of pinned stars with
absolutely no nebulae. I am very scared about the left frozen stock. Should
i definitely go for inversible film as this is now the available solution
except digital resources?

Thanks;
Pierre.
