I have always used the pointy end, and used it on the end of the cartridge where the spool sticks out the most to get extra leverage! I am humbled! I also have about 6 squillion (a bunch!) of snap caps I've saved over the years- they make spooling one's own film much easier! Incidentally- I used to get the Agfa film because the snap caps had a groove that kept them from popping off, but were easy to remove when you wanted them off.... I sure would like to find a source of those again. The Kodak type, as are the 3M cassettes, are a bit hard to pop off sometimes! Though they are easier than the Leica ( on topic!) cassette- I have two of those and use them on my display shelf! Dan'l dwpost@msn.com
