I could NEVER get a decent, straight cut (OK, I didn't use SwissArmyKnife for it). Probably I'd made some film-cutting device myself - if I still had the cameras! ;-) Martin >>> I keep wondering about the discussion in cutting film leader for use in LTM > cameras.

Isn't any of them around anymore??<<<< Hi Martin, Probably, but if you could find one they fall into the "collector category" and probably cost as much as a 100 rolls of film. Just as easy to cut a bunch of rolls with scissors, replace to canister and shoot away with money still in ones pocket. ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
