What on earth!

Trimming the leader was too much trouble.

Yes, I'd rather trim the leader.
The trim on the hack is magnificent in its unabashed presentation 😀.

Kinda cool. Had it been around $20, I would have bought it just to sit in the cabinet, back turned towards the public 😀

Terrible. Horrible.

That is first-class bodgineering. A modification to make the camera easier to use, done cleanly (though it's a bit gaudy). I'm impressed.

Hi,

Well, I see it was sold.

But if you want easy film loading and a Leica lens there are lots of bodies you can fit the lens to and/or you could practise loading the camera the way Barnack intended it...

Regards, David

I have seen this done before, quite neatly but I wondered about the rigidity of the body afterwards and did not really see the point of it. Many ltm Leicas have some flexibility in the back of the body.

This is an unusual optional extra for Leica cameras, it's catalogued as a Leitz Leakmaster.

Famous model 😀
