Ixmoo gets stuck trying to load m3!

[Puggie]

I tried loading an ixmoo in my m3 for the first time today. The cassette jams about half way into the camera, as if the base plate is not quite the right shape. Any advice on what I'm doing wrong? Disposable 35mm cassettes load fine.

Any chance its a FILCA and not an IXMOO?

May be a fake; I have two that looks identical to my IXMOOs, but don't mount properly.

I have tried 3 and they are all the same, I bought 8 I lxmoo cassettes for which 2 are filcas and one a bitsa with a different spool (light tight though, it was loaded with ilford HP3 and was still unexposed when I dev'd it)

Sorted, the little curved plate held down by the two screws in that end of the base plate had been fitted upside down jamming the cassette as it slots in.

Ixmoo of Kodak 5222 now loaded 🙂
