If that was true most of my films would have cracked, not only from freezing during storage, but some of them also from use in similar temperatures.

There is, however, a story of a Norwegian expedition to Antarctica where they used an LX being modified to roll the film the opposite way around the spool in the camera to avoid cracking, but the temperatures may be well below the temperature in the freezer.

If the film holds freezer temperatures during use I�d be careful with winders and motor drives.

Shel, I would strongly advocate not freezing film, but simply fridging it.
I read many years ago that freezing could lead to some emulsions cracking on
loading, but that may be a myth!
