Leica LTM Leica II take up spool

[certifiable]

Hey Guys,

I just received a Leica II, looks superb and seems to be working OK. I just need a take up spool, I could take one from my other Leicas for the time being but still....

Finding an original Leica is a long shot and/or expensive, is it possible to use an early Fed(fed-1) or Zorki(zorki-1) one, like the ones that are really Leica copies and not their 'own' models?

Thanx!

The spools from my Zorki's fit my IIIc. Even better is a spool from a Canon rangefinder. They have a spring loaded knob that pops out and makes spool removal much easier. Good Luck. Joe

CRR Luton make new ones. Not cheap.

Well I just ordered a Zorki 1c, should arrive tomorrow... worst case: It won't fit and I'll have another nice camera to play with...

If you get stuck try contacting Malcolm Taylor in the UK. He'll be able to sort you out a correct and original spool.

His contact details are listed on this site, or just google his name and Leica.

They have just listed one on their new listing,today £15. ref.FD427

Unfortunately shipping is 25pounds, roughly 40dollars...
Well let's just hope the Zorki one fits... or it'll be one mighty expensive metal tube... (good thing I got the camera for 25$ )
