[Leica] Michiel's PAW 49-52

[saganicc at MSKCC.ORG (Saganich, Christopher/Medical Physics)]

The cassettes, I believe, will not work with the m6 unless you use an M4-2 
base plate.  If the cassette will fit into the film chamber the m4-2 base 
plate will open the cassette.  I did this until I bought an MP and 
discovered the cassettes no longer fit into the chamber :>(  I still have 
the m4-2 base plate.

Thanks Bob,

That's very nice of you but I live in the Netherlands.
I just decided to do it myself from now on. I still have the development 
tank from the times I had a darkroom. I only have to darken my toilet 
which is not very difficult.
Hmm, now that it think of it, I can start loading my own cassettes also 
again. I still have a pile of original Leica cassettes. I hope they will 
work with the M6.

Best regards,

Michiel Fokkema
