I usually store in the fridge, but read about those that put film in the
freezer. OK for it? More suited to long term storage? I've not had any
problem with cold storage in the fridge part in the past, just
wondering.

Locally film (well, good film) is harder to find. I just mail ordered
some Velvia 100F, and being more rolls than I will shoot right away,
wondered about the cold storage options...

In general, leave film in its original sealed packaging before
refrigerating or freezing. Allow film to warm to "room" temperature
before opening and using.

Refrigerated color film is usually good for 3 years past its expiration
date; b&w quite a bit longer. I've used b&w that was 5 years past with
no evidence of degradation.

Frozen film will keep "indefinitely."
