I voted refridgerator. Even though I keep some in the freezer, I don't really keep film for that long that I have a need to freeze it.

On a bookshelf, hopefully out of my son's reach. I tend to use film quickly so the only real danger to it is the sprog's insatiable curiosity.

I voted freezer, but keep transparency & IR in the freezer, most everything else in the (dedicated) full size fridge, and a few rolls here & there ready to go. Good old FAS... several thousand feet in the fridge. Too bad Polaroid is a little bulky, a 10 pack takes more space that 2 90m rolls. Paper gobbles up space too. Not enough space for in the fridge for my (freebie) xray film. I need a bigger fridge!

I'd vote for refrigerator, but I don't see it in the poll

I've always kept mine in the refridgerator - these days seems to be more film than food and beer in there!

Mainly in the refrigerator, but also in jacket pockets... sometimes I forget a roll in the trousers pockets and then appears in the washing machine...

I keep all my stock in the freezer and the upcoming next rolls in the refrigerator. But, obviously, a few rolls are also on the way in the different bags I own. Sometime for weeks.

I never buy more than 10 rolls of B&W 36x, (2 months worth or so) so, my 40 year old or so 6'h x 4.5w' x 2'd double door solid Walnut Armoire fine.
I know it isn't much, but, it's all I can afford. It's enough, it keeps me connected with Film Photography.

Currently have three large ziplock bags in the refrigerator, 2 B&W and 1 Color (about 60 rolls). The goal is to rotate the stock using oldest date first. Usually replenish inventory after using 15 to 20 rolls.
I have purchased expired rolls on a couple of occasions and used that stock immediately.
Usually a camera with me every day and keep two or three rolls in the bag.

Update from post #16 in 2008. I have 3 rolls of Neopan 1600 in a drawer in my fridge, rest are in 2 bags in my room. My house stays pretty cool.

FWIW, I got back into film two months ago, using Tri-X and TMY-p3200 stored in my freezer since about 2000. Both are quite visibly fogged, but I have been using them, and they worked fine. I just recently got some Arista Premium (faux Tri-X) and here's a comparison of the fresh with my old: http://i.minus.com/iSAihzYTwdDv.jpg
Same developer, time, etc. |

I live in a very warm place. Most of my film is in the freezer. The rest, which I expect to use within the next months is in the fridge.

I voted refrigerator, but some rolls are in the freezer, and some others in a shoulder bag where the camera(s) usually travel.
The scheme is the usual: from the freezer to the fridge, then to the camera bag, an then to the camera.
BTW, I still have a can of Plus X that was stored for almost 18 years in an anctarctic base, later brought to the continent in the icebreakerīs freezer, then to a home freezer for the past 32 years. Another can that came from the same place and time performed fine.
