 Yes, the film was split longitudinally. I am trimming the leader
to 10cm, I do trim it so that it goes between the sprocket holes.
However, now that you mentioned it, I don't think the cut from the
middle to the edge of the film was that smooth.

 Dan, when winding the film back, how do I know that only the
leader is still out, so that I can cut it to make a flat end?

Thank you for your suggestions,
Matej
