[Leica] IIIf - HELP!!!!

[Mark Rabiner]

I have a chunk of film floating around in my IIIF which will have to be takin out by a repair person.
You have to really use the cutter to trim a perfect leader on your film to work with the camera.

Take me to your leader.

    Luis,
    
    Thanks. I played with the shutter speeds and finally it came free. I just have
    to find some more film to put through it!
    
    I had it CLA'd a few years back because one of the starp lugs broke off while I
    was filming a wedding!
    
    Thanks again. I will check him out,
    
    Peter
