I never let undeveloped film pile up. I usually develop it the day I shoot
it, or as soon as I get home if I am traveling. The latent image can
deteriorate over time. I do have a huge backlog of developed film that I
have not had time to scan and print, but I don't have to be in a hurry
there, since developed film doesn't deteriorate if developed properly and
stored properly. I have close to 300 rolls to scan stuff from!
