Hi

Yeah, I think the conventional silver films like HP5 will keep well past 
expiry when refrigerated.

My fears is with XP2 but it is just what I want to play with at the moment 
since I am playing around with a Holga and whatever bakelite 120 camera (I 
just bought an Agfa Click 6x6 which I hear is sadly quite sharp) I can find.

Thanks
Tan
