LOADA FILM PACK www.orphancameras.com
A speciaI req uest !
As soon as you open the film pack you will begin to accumu-
late waste paper. There will be more when you develop the
pictures. We hope that it won't become litter in the streets
or be scattered around the landscape.
What to do with the waste paper? Usually, it will fit into
an empty foil bag or film box. Or, if you're planning to take
lots of outdoor pictures, bring along a paper bag or other
container for waste. Everyone will appreciate this little
extra effort on your part.
