Kodak keeps it stored way down deep underground when they are "aging" it, to keep it's exposure to "cosmic" rays to a minimum. But it's just a matter of testing. It won't be a problem with color obviously, but from fogging. So if you don't see fog in a test roll, I would suspect the batch is good. It would be rather consistent I suspect. - -- Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch Where reason has failed, fallibility may yet succeed. -- George Soros
