Has anyone else heard of this online store?  I just found out about it, in of all places Martha Stewart Living magazine.  Now I have a problem, I'm going to want too much stuff from this place!

Ohhhh, yeah, I've done some window shopping on this site before.  Haven't yet bought anything, though.

I have dealt with them a few times in fact when I had a question it was the owner who mailed me back and answered my question. I got my Golden Half camera from them and some other things.

Hey, if you really want to, you can go on eBay and get the 'Olympia' camera for three times that much and more!  I like the way they write them up to sound like a really nice outfit, then put up a crappy picture so you can hardly tell what it is.  Sounds like they got stuck with it thinking they were getting something great as a promotional prize.  Looks cool though with all the bright chrome.  You can also get a few rolls of the 120 film just for the canisters.  I'm beginning to think that is where the ones I just got originated from.

Why buy 120 canisters when you can save prescription pill bottles and re-use them to protect your film?  That's what I've been doing for a few years now.

Well I use ADOX and Rollei 120 and the film comes in those nice cans. I have also made them by cutting the bottom out of a 35mm can and then taping it to another 35mm can with black tape. I quit using the ones I made from PVC pipe as they looked too much like pipe bombs. Smiley

 The thing though is I put little rubber O rings in the caps of the PVC ones to make them water proof.

Who gets their medicine in black plastic bottles?  All mine have been either orange or green see-through.  The idea is to block out the light.  I use the prescription bottles for small parts.
