cut film leader for bottom loader ???

[driver]

I have just removed a jammed roll of Kodacolor II from my IVSB2. Wow, I was under the assumption the shutter needed servicing but now it seems to work well. Thanks for all the replies for contacts for qualified repair techs. It would be Mark Hama or Don Goldberg if/when I pull the trigger for a CLA.

I would appreciate any replies on loading film correctly for bottom loaders.

Welcome to the forum!

There's a "sticky" (thread that's always near the top) on this subject in the Leica LTM sub-forum.

I don't for my M5, But, the spool stays in the camera when loading, it has an open end to drop the leader in the cogs.

I had a Canon II or III in 1972, The spool will let know by just looking at it, and seeing if it has slot that runs partially across, or has a spring loaded tongue that can take a uncut leader.
