Hi -
I've been going through my old film processing stuff and I found a bunch of reloadable film canisters. They're well over 40 years old
They have been stored in old screw-top Kodak aluminum cans. Most are metal Kodak brand but I have a few plastic (originally bought to use in a Leica iiic that was stolen from my car at college).
My concern is that the felt (or velvet whatever was used for light sealing) might have deteriorated and will scratch the film. Does anyone have any thoughts on this. I don't want to buy a roll of bulk film (it's pretty expensive these days) and ruin it with scratches from the canisters.
Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks...
BTW - I really enjoy this forum...there seems to be a lot of really knowledgeable people here.
