Diane,

	Do you have Eastman stock?  Do you have a freezer full of 5247 waiting
for a bear market?  Did you miss Ron's point entirely?

    (***emphasis mine***)

	I don't know of anyone who sells 5247 from the fridge*.  The 5247
packagers are, in effect, turning professional (refrigerated) film into
ameteur (off-the-shelf) film.

	I ocasionally shoot a roll of IR Ectachrome or photomicrography film.
I keep these in the fridge*.  I have no idea how long the 5247 somebody (other
than Kodak) has put into 35mm cans has been out of controlled storage,
therefore, I don't see the "professional" label justified.

* Frigidaire is a registered trademark of someone or other.  (I spilled my
  thermos on my kleenex when I went to make a xerox.)
