May be that's were I got mine from. Those on the Macodirect site work out at about £0.65 each without carriage, so good value, but you would have to combine them with ordering something else at the same time to pass the minimum order charge.

M&M mini candies come in a tube that fits perfectly a 120 roll. No joke. Buy the chocolate, enjoy it, and save the tubes. Think of it as a two for one deal.

I use a home made Velcro sealed bag made of blackout material offcuts for my exposed 120 rolls awaiting development.
The plastic bags from a boxes of paper with black electrical tape would do as well.

For the needy and thrifty and I am both : I go back to my idea in an earlier post on this thread. Some customers deliver their films to mini-labs in their original 35mm canisters which labs probably dispose of. Ilford and Kodaks are fine but not Fuji which are translucent. Might be worth checking with any in your area.

Might not be as good looking as the custom-made canister but it does the job.

Mike, have you ever thought of getting a job on Blue Peter. Whats wrong with the bit of foil and the box it came in?

I remember seeing odd rolls of 120 at a camera fair for sale wrapped in kitchen foil.

I keep the foils and the boxes with a few cornflake packets and Fairy Liquid washing up bottles in the hope that one lonely Saturday night the middle 1960s version of Valerie Singleton will knock on the door and say " I have come to show you how to make a replica of Cape Canaveral and an Apollo Moon Rocket"
