I've never had a problem, but I get mostly amateur films which are  
less aged than pro emulsions.

I get my Fujicolor Reala from B&H, and freeze it when it gets here. I  
freeze it more to bug Kitty than preserve it really.

If one is concerned about perfect color matching requiring pro film,  
chances are you already switched to digi.
