Back in the days when Kodak issued new Kodachromes that had a decidedly
green color balance, their advise to their "customers" was to hold the film
for six months until it achieved proper color balance.(Somehow they thought
it was a service to their customers to provide the new film before it
capable of taking a decent picture) With their caveats in other places that
they could not guarantee the color balance of film that reached 90 degrees
Fahrenheit I assumed they must have meant the aging must be done in a
refrigerated environment. Never knew what temperature they recommended. I
did not try to find out since they had already lost 2 rolls of my film in
their processing plant and mixed in several pictures of naked boys into
another set of slides I had really lost interest in Kodak anyway.
Anyway all this leads up to the question as to whether you have ever
noticed a color difference resulting from the two methods of storage. Or
have you never stored the film long enough for it age appreciably?
