When I was bulk loading film, I used metal snap cap cassettes (Kodak?) that each came in a tiny box. Ten or twelve of those tiny boxes came in another box. Cut off the ends of the tiny boxes, cut off the top of the larger box, put the empty tiny boxes back in the bigger box, apply some masking tape to hold everything together, and voila -- you had a very convenient way to carry a good amount of film. Ten or twelve little pigeonholes, each literally made for a film cassette, but now in one easily handled single unit. I don't claim to have invented this setup. Lots of shooters I knew at the time used it.
My convention was to put each unexposed roll of film into its pigeonhole with the cassette spindle up, and each exposed film film into its pigeonhole with the cassette spindle down. Made it very easy to tell by sight or by feel how my film supply was holding up.
So now I'm shooting factory-packaged film and not digging using loose canisters of film. True, it's easy to keep unexposed film in one pocket and exposed film in another. And film in canisters is safe from moisture.
I did some Googling for film carriers and came up virtually dry.
How do you carry the film you're shooting, and then once you've shot it?
