Can i store a Polaroid back in the fridge?

[Deano]

I managed to pick myself up a Polaroid back for my Hasselblad. It is loaded with a 10 pack of fuji FP100 film. I have only used three shots and probably wont use the rest for a good few months. The rest of the pack cannot be removed from the back so can i just store the complete thing in the fridge or not to keep the film fresh?

I can't see why not? It's probably worth sealing it in a plastic bag but I wouldn't imagine it would come to any harm. Probably advisable to give it time to come up to room temperature when you do take it out though.

I used to routinely keep rolls of 120 film in the fridge but I've never put a complete film back in one

cheers

to go off topic why do you keep film in the fridge? - does it make it last longer.

also should I keep my film in the fridge? - Ilford fp4 and hp5 (might be fp5 and hp4) 35mm

- film n00b

Films last longer in cool temperatures. You can even freeze most film.

B&W is less sensitive, just keep that in a cool dark cupboard somewhere, unless you plan on storing it for years and years.

Don't freeze polaroid, the chemicals will go all wangy and it won't work again.
