Just a quick note, to let you know that Mike is making the neat film boxes again. I just bought two, and they are perfect.

The film boxes were mentioned here on the forum a while ago, so I spoke to Mike, and asked if would start making them again. He very kindly did,
and when I get the chance, I will take some photographs of them, and post them here. They are made of ABS, and are the same size and similar design/
concept of a normal 5x4 film box. These are dense black, and with tight seals.

Looks like a very nice box. Do you know if he makes them in 5x7? Or if he would? How much are they?

Best thing would be to give Mike a call, and he will put you all in the picture.

The box is almost identical in proportion to a regular cardboard film box, therefore probably holding the same amount. Within the box, are some pieces of card to sandwich the sheets in, the same as a normal box.
Give Mike a call.
