Hi:
I've processed some sheet film where the exposure was made 8 years before
the film was processed. They turned out - actually very nicely :)
I found a couple of sheet film holders with fim in them in the bottom of a
box when housecleaning. It was Tri-x sheet film. I processed them and
discovered pictures I knew I had taken 8 years earlier.
They were just stored in boxes, but in Saskatoon - which usually cool and
dry most of the time :)
