Wanted: 35mm films

Posted on
  • A really rather unusual thing to ask but since we have a fair amount of people into photography here, it's worth trying my luck.

    I am collecting 35mm canisters, the actual metal one not the plastic containers. I need over 1000 for a piece of work I am making and so far I have only gotten about half, my supply is slowing down due to the slowing down of film photography etc. Most labs pop the top of the canisters open hence they are no use to me, so if you know any photo labs that use the tongue retrieving method.

    If you either have any empty canister or any 35mm films you no longer want / need, I would be forever grateful if you could donate them to me.

    Pretty please!

  • When I spent some time in south asia, I noticed all the film rolls were made of recycled cartridges. They were handmade from stuff like spray cans.

    Perhaps its possible to use the busted open ones?

  • Tried it but just doesn't look as good.
