I've always frozen film (all sizes and all types) with no problem as
recommended by Kodak.  See Kodak Publication E-30

The important thing to remember is to allow proper thawing before opening
the package.

Huh.  Seems we have conflicting advice here: Dan advises freezing exposed
film, while Sal DiMarco admonishes against doing just that.

Since Dan seems to have stored his film at freezing temperatures and not
suffered adverse consequences, it begs the question of Sal--why NOT freeze
the film?

Thanks,
