Marc:

I am greatfull to you for all your insightfull contribution to this list,
but I find the above somewhat misleading. The above cameras DO need a
trimmed leader, but the trim that is on the film when purchased works fine.
I beleive the original poster was refering to the fact that the leader on
film as now packaged must be extended for use in screw mount cameras.

Cheers!
