Freezing film (35mm)

[Nebular89]

I know people freeze film to freeze ;p the expiry but does putting 35mm in the freeze do anything negative to the canisters? I only really use film a couple of times a year when I go away now and with the current cost of slide film, which is my favourite, I'm going to buy a roll or two a month and store them

The canisters are bombproof lol

Wack em in a plastic food bag, then ideally inside a plastic food container though just in the bags would suffice.

When removing them from freezer , leave the films in their respective bags etc until they have returned to an ambiant temperature.

I don’t bother freezing film anymore, I simply fridge it …… still lasts forever !

Edited to add a blithering idiot comment :

Based on the above info, perhaps I could do to refrigerate myself

I keep my bulk supply in the freezer inside plastig food boxes as @Asha says and my "ready use" in ziplock bags in the fridge so they warm up more gently. Also as Asha says let it come to room temp slowly in its box/cannister before opening to load it.
