[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I'm getting better at loading my "new" IIIf (first Leica), but I recently messed up a leader to the extent that I turned two sproket holes in the edge of the film into one hole. In other words, I chipped out a piece of film itself about as big as one sproket hole. I was loading over a table, so I was able to look around for the film fragment: no luck. Tapped the (open) camera against my hand: no luck. Blew in the open camera: no luck. Maybe the fragment came out and I just didn't find it, but maybe it didn't come out. Can anyone suggest my next step? (And I hope it doesn't involve sending my just-CLA'ed-with-a-brand-new-shutter camera to a shop....) Thanks, Matt Barker
