This will keep the film cassette cap from popping off during rough handling by the post office. I learned this lesson the hard way. Having just switch to exclusively using slide film for a while, I decided to use mailers to save some money. I didn't put the film cassettes inside the plastic containers before putting them in the mailer because I didn't think they would fit, but they do. I managed to get away without a problem for a while but I lost 7 shots on the beginning of my last roll of film and got a "PhotoGram" (form letter) from Kodak that read "To help prevent shipping damage to processing orders, be sure to use film containers when they are supplied". Anyone else ever have this problem? Art Art Searle, W2NRA, w2nra@erols.com, Lake Grove, Long Island, NY, USA
