I saw something interesting when I went to B&H Photo in NYC (before the
attack). I got 20 rolls of the new Delta 400 Professional and it doesn't
come in the boxes anymore. It doesn't even come in the plastic cylinder
containers anymore! Each roll was packaged individually in a foil sandwich
bag, just like a candy bar. Hermetically sealed. I thought that was a bit
odd, but I got to thinking......(Yes, I know that it's dangerous, but it
happens sometimes.)
WHen I need a new roll of film in the field, I get it out of my bag. It's
usually packed in the little white or yellow box. And what do I do with the
cardboard box if it has one? I find somewhere to pitch it. OK. You say:
"I keep my film in only the little gray/black cannisters." I do that too,
and I have to write on EACH ROLL its film type with white china marker
before it goes into the bag. Otherwise I will certainly get confused. And
I almost never keep the cannisters. I throw them away at the first
opportunity. The exposed film is kept in a bag pocket. So wouldn't this
new Ilford packaging make things a lot easier? I think....."YES". It will
reduce waste, decrease storage space, and still keep the film protected in
its little coocoon.
I think I like it! (No he won't like it...He hates everything!)
Anybody else seen this packaging?
