Keep all your films in the freezer. This way you can somehow extend the
expiration of the films. This is very correct ! (personal experience).

"i wanted to ask something else, these days, forte films are all expired
since last february, you cant find new ones! does this make a big
difference, i heard that in black and whites u can have the film 6
monthes after the expiracy date written on the box if you keep it in a
cool place, is that true?"

Have you the ability to try Ilford films ? They used to be brilliant.
The multigrade paper they used to supply, when used properly with
multigrade chemicals and filters, give wonderful results. Used to work
with them years back.

thanks ahmed and tarek for ur replies.
what you missed ahmed is that i told u i printed from forte at fuji many
times, but the films were developed at philip, and i got amazing results
really which i am really pleased with, yea they r a bit grainy for the
reason u mentioned about printing on coloured paper, but this last films
specially i developed them at fuji for the first time then i printed
them there too, so this is why i am telling u it is something have to do
with the developing. anyways i will start developing my own films soon,
cause even philip are not giving me the quality and care i want, i
always get my negatives scratched!!!!!!! and last time i got them over
developed, that i had to expose 5 times more to print it well!!!!

Also i know that fuji have black and white papers special for machine
printing, which is not available at kodak, i think they used it cause i
cant see any tones in the pics at all, they r real black and white very
similar to the manually printed ones.

i wanted to ask something else, these days, forte films are all expired
since last february, you cant find new ones! does this make a big
difference, i heard that in black and whites u can have the film 6
monthes after the expiracy date written on the box if you keep it in a
cool place, is that true?

thanks
