reloadable film cassettes & Zorkis

[reagan]

What reloadable film cassettes work well with Zorkis? Your experience?

I use the Kalt metal cassettes with the snap caps although I have also used the black plastic ones with the screw caps.

I knew Zorkikat covered that somewhere but it wasn't easy to find:

Thanks folks!

Have you used the plastic w/ screw caps in small bodies or larger bodies like Zorki.3 or 4?

I have only used the Kalt cassettes in my Zorkii 4 (which I have not used much anyway). I have probably used the plastic ones in my Zorkii 5 and 6, however. One problem that I have found with the pastic screw cap cassettes is that the pointed "bump" on the cap often does not quite line up with the corresponding part of the cassette body. This works OK in my Zorkii 1's, but makes it a bit tricky to insert and remove from my Leica IIIf.

I've used the plastic screw cap cassettes in my Zorki 4 with no problems.
