Re: Bulk loading HIE in 70mm -Reply

["Timothy E. Coffer" <COFFER.TIM@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Oh, great, so the 8 70mm cassettes I now possess departed company
from their metal cannisters...... ;=J   I wonder what I can Gerry-rig to take
their place? Small tomato paste can with a lid made of sheet aluminum? I
guess I could wrap up the cassettes after I load them with foil, but that
may not protect much against freezer burn & condensation.
Thanks, Tim Coffer

Yep, there are metal cannisters that come with the cassettes. Both
empty and loaded cartridges are sold this way. A crude metal
cannister though, only friction keeps the lid in place, and they are
sealed with tape. You definately need those cannisters for 70mm HIE,
like you do with 35mm. Otherwise you would need to bulkload 
piecewise, loading only the cartridge that immediately goes into the 
camera (in the darkroom) instead of cutting down an entire roll in 
several cartridges and storing them in the freezer.
