The IIIf requires a long leader. Here's how to make one:

* Pull out the film so that 15 sprocket holes are exposed on
  the leader side.

* Using a pair of scissors, trim the leader so that the leader
  is 13 holes long. Try to make the cut at about the same angle
  as the factory leader. There is no need to make rounded corners.

* Attach the leader to the take-up spool and continue loading the 
  film.
