RETO Film Case, Blue Lid, Yellow Body / 35 mm film

$22.99

The body is made of aluminum and the cap is made of steel, KODAK film cans were widely used in the 1970s for film packaging, only later changed to grey-top plastic containers. The canisters were painted colorful and carried a lot of joyful memories. It was indeed a big part of film photography history. We are inspired by the selection of materials and colors and wish to recreate a new version of the KODAK Film Case, only to make it even more practical and stylish.

RETO Kodak Film Case (Blue Lid, Yellow Body) — a display-worthy way to organize client film rolls

The gist: For photographers who bring film shoots into client meetings or studio sessions, this metal case doubles as protective storage and a nice-looking prop on a desk.

  • Durable metal build: aluminum body with a steel cap, sturdier than the cardboard boxes film ships in, so client rolls survive travel between studio and lab.
  • 5-roll capacity: matches RetoPro's own spec (148 x 56 x 47mm, 160g), enough for a full shoot day of separate exposed and unexposed rolls.
  • Retro brand presentation: the yellow-and-blue Kodak-heritage look reads well in behind-the-scenes content or client-facing photos of your process, useful for building a personal brand.
  • Protective: Exibart Street's coverage notes the case keeps film "dry and clean," reducing the risk of a client's shoot getting damaged in transit.

Exibart Street quotes RetoPro's own framing of the design goal: making the classic Kodak case "even more practical and stylish" — a combination that works as well on a client-facing desk as it does in a bag.

Best for: freelance film photographers who want durable, presentable storage for client rolls and behind-the-scenes content. Skip it if: you're shooting purely digital or rarely handle physical rolls — this solves a physical-media problem, not a digital workflow one. Runs ~$23 — check the current price before buying.
