Vericolor could be kept in the fridge or freezer. The most important requirement was not to leave it too long once it had been exposed. Being a pro film it wasn't designed to have a xmas tree at each end
Freezing film stops any animal products such as gelatin going off.

Nikon and Canon have film era mounts together with
very expensive film era AF that requires a motor in each
lens
People forget how much superior the K mount was compared to
the CZ Contax mount which couldn't be adapted to AF and
eventually led to the end of the Contax system, because
togs didn't fancy buying a 2nd set of very expensive
lenses.

Whoops misread the way they have drawn the graphs or possibly more results have been added since I last looked.Generally the primes seem quite good and the zooms have improved
over the years. The 17-70mm seems to have problems with something
like 50% still failing.
2010: 17-70mm 12 failed 25 OK so that's 12/37 = 32.4%
The results seem quite reliable because of the good results
from the primes. The DA*200mm f/2.8 only has 1 failure in
4 years out of 59 lenses.
The 16-50mm in 2009 shows 36 failed 43 OK = 36/79 = 45.6%
The 18-135mm has zero failures from 93 lenses....
It seems to me that the solution is simple

There are some good graphs on the US forum regarding SDM
reliability based on year purchased (started by Stefan).

BetterJpeg does it although it's not free it costs $30.
The good news is that it doesn't re-compress the
jpegs when it adds whatever Exif data you want to
add.
