How do you get the film into >them? Trust me, the Leica cassettes will work magnificently in the Watson loader; it has the proper cam to close them after you have spun the film into them. I believe they also work on the Lloyd's loader, but I'm too damned tired right now to go upstairs to check. System compatibility is great, and Leica cassettes, in one of two forms, will fit every Leica from the original Standard to the middle-range M6.
