No concerns about deep frozen film, John, as witness genuine first
generation Velvia 50 in 220 in my freezer, alongside Scala 35mm. Now if
only I hadn't sold my Fuji 690, as I only have 120 cameras now. (Yes, I
realise that is ambiguous, it isn't far wrong either way).

Yeah, good thing with C-41 is that it doesn't hurt to overexpose it a bit
and you can always adjust any minor colour changes in scanning/post.

I have some old Agfa C-41 which I bought cheap and it seems to suffer from
excessive fog levels, I have no idea how it was stored prior to buying it -
seller said it had been refrigerated but I'm not sure I believe him !

Its probably ok, but may have lost some speed. Shoot a test roll before
doing anything important.
