I agree with george...A month ago I finished using my last 2 rolls of 
Konica 120 1997 while shooting some studio portraits and continued 
working with the 2001 emulsion. All film was exposed the same, 
developed together, there are no differences at all. Frozen film-any 
frozen film-keeps its characteristics for a long long time.
