This is a particular request.

I am looking for new or mint condition 2000 ft / 70mm film canisters for a film preservation project. Basically we have a collection of over 2500 films of all gauges and lengths, among which, we have a handful of 70 mm films that require 2000ft canisters.

We have been doing quite a bit of research for these and for some reason there doesn't seem to be anyone who really produces these anymore. Or is there?

If you have any suggestions for online stores to check out or if any of you have some 2000ft/70mm cans lying around, we would be very interested in purchasing these.

If you do have an offer or can help us out, I can be reached at thomas.pilon@civilizations.ca

Thanks!
