Maybe that's why I enjoy using the Leitz cassettes, I bought around 20 of them for 20 GBP about $1.50 each. Too bad Leica decided to stop manufacturing the activating lug on these late M6s, thankfully my early one still had it. best wishes, Jem - -----Original Message----- From: DonjR43198@aol.com [SMTP:DonjR43198@aol.com] Jem >> But remember how much fun it is with the 15 cent throwaways to drag all your film across the felt lips during the loading process, then drag the film back across the felt lips for each exposure and then repeat during the rewind. The Leica cassettes avoided those problems. However, the last M6 that I saw would not accept the Leica cassettes made for the earlier M cameras. To use them with the current M6 cameras one would have to find an old M camera baseplate that would fit their M6.
