when i was in NS, i use film canister to put matches

matches is safer cos lighter can spoil anytime and then u won't be able to start fire

I throw them into a plastic bag. Now I got a lot, who wants?

[iceman]

yup, actually, that's my question. anyone has use for it? started collecting them again recently and i have about 10 of them now. any idea what does the film developer does with them - throw away? in the past, konata returns them to me.

for info, i put my coins gathered from my trips into the film cannisters.

I use them as motor mount for my RC plane..

Also seen some pple using it as omnibounce for built-in flashes.

They're good for storing screws etc. too.

Have lots of them, only the top is not white. It's brown/black mostly. From Provia/Velvia/Press 800.

I see u all use expensive film. Fujifilm Superia comes in translucent white containers.

I use them to store developed b/w film after they have been through the school's photo lab.

I put my stray beads in them too. Useful stuff.
