[Leica] Black Bags

[Thinkofcole at aol.com (Thinkofcole@aol.com)]

alex, those black bags you speak of were widely available in  the days-- 
long 
ago -- when thousands of people bought film in bulk, 25 or 50  ft. in a 
roll, 
and packed their own casettes inside the light-proof bag, line  with rubber, 
I believe. Today that rubber lining probably would be cracked and,  
therefore, 
no longer light-proof. I never sold them for more than $1 and always  told a 
customer that they were probably no good. 
  I seem to recall, though, that a one-hour photo store I used had a  modern 
light-tight box to remove casettes from cameras with a problem or for  other 
uses. 
  You might try your local one-hour photo store; he or she may have  
something similar that they will help you with -- at no cost. --bob cole
