+Sparky-Watts Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 Oh, yeah.....they're basically just trash to them. Most places keep them and send them off to be recycled. I used to be a semi-professional photographer and had thousands of them just lying around. If you go to your local newspaper, or even to some photo shops, you can also get the bulk film cans from them. They are aluminum, and about 4" in diameter, same height as a film canister. Some have screw on lids and can be sealed with a gasket. Those would make nice mini caches! Quote Link to comment

I don't know much about "medium" format film, but I guess it is physically a little larger. Though not nearly as common as 34mm, I figured their cannisters would be handy to use, too, if you could find them? Quote Link to comment

+Planet Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 Be careful what you ask for. I went to Costco, asked the man, who was very busy, if he had any. He handed me a big box of them and walked away. I took them to an event and said help yourself! I packed a bunch up with plastic bags and wrote CITO on them and put them in caches, I made a couple of micro caches, and basically I am set for life. DO YOU WANT ANY MORE!? Quote Link to comment
+GeckoGeek Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 If you go to your local newspaper, or even to some photo shops, you can also get the bulk film cans from them. They went digital ages ago. In fact I think there were the very first to do so, even before consumers go into the act. I don't think you'll find any there. Quote Link to comment
