Films you buy from the fridge "pro" films are not too young and red or old and green.
They are aged to perfection and Kodak plucks them off the vine and chills them
with some nice fava beans for your shooting enjoyment!
Regular film if you buy it at the right time it has been on the shelf (not in a
fridge) it will be in the middle between red and green, just right. If you get
it too red you can wait until it ripens if you bought a whole lot of the same
emulsion batch.
Been awhile so I hope i haven't switched it.

I shoot no film before it's time!
