Do you have a freezer full of 5247 waiting for a bear market? Did you miss Ron's point entirely? > Then I still stand my ground 5247 and it's relatives are not professional > film ***when used in the 35mm context.*** (***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.
