[QUOTE=GeorgeJetson;3003093]That's the bad thing about film..it degrades.
Funny you mention this. I have prints that have been run at least once a year since they were new... Some of these films are nearly 60 years old, with no sign of vinegar syndrome, or brittleness.
Many of the prints I lost were old library prints that were run (usually) 10 times or so, then discarded.
I think that vinegar often happens to films that have been sitting in cans for years and years. Acetate film needs to breathe! Most of the film I have today is at least rewound once a year.
