My inner voice told me to press the "Buy" button. I had no choice. A handful (18) of film cassettes for the Nikon F and the rangefinder.
The shipment consisted of four different types: 200, 400, and 1600 ASA, and two without scales. These are probably the oldest.
Two different locking mechanisms.
But only two canisters. No matter. I've already printed some for the remaining 16.
Now I just need to buy enough bulk film so I can fill them all.

Your idea is very commendable.
With a 50-meter roll of Fomapan, for example, you can fill 31 to 32 cartridges.
A 50-meter roll of Fomapan 100 costs €68 ex works in the Czech Republic, excluding shipping costs. That works out to approximately €2.20 per cartridge fill.
If you spend more than €370, shipping to Austria or Germany is free. The Czech Republic is our neighboring country, and the factory is about 250 miles from me.
You can't shoot film any cheaper.
Be careful with the Nikon cartridges; they often command insane prices. It's worth monitoring the market.
There are different cartridges, one for Rangefinder / F and an other for the F2. For F2 ya need the AM-1.
