The Struggle is Real

Written by

I’ve always heard that Kodak Ektar can be a little fussy. I know that most film shops I purchase from keep it refrigerated as a matter of course and scanning it can be a bit more of an art than one would expect.

In this case, I think I’m finding out that it could be both!

Last weekend, I pulled two more rolls from the pro pak I have had lingering in the freezer for a few years now. So while it expired in 2023, it has been kept cool since I purchased it.
