I knew someone would be coming along looking for these eventually. I don't
think you'll do better than $25 each, new.

Any make loader will work, but I haven't seen any for sale.

We are 99ure, based on the fact that 35mm 250 Exposure Backs for all makes

have first hand confirmation that Nikon and Canon cassettes are
interchangable.
