What do you use to cut rolls into strips?

Now to find something similar for 120 film...

MATIN makes a film cutter that takes both formats and even comes with a tiny lightbox (for available light; i.e., it doesn't actually produce light). I've been trying to find one for sale in Europe but haven't had any success so far. There's one on the US auction site for $30, which is a bit steep.

Minilabs come close to cutting film into strips....oh, wait! That's not what you meant!

This may be a little OT but have the pictures of the upcoming m7 digital been out for long? (http://www.lfi-online.de/ceemes/show.php?lfi_index) i must've missed it. does anybody know when it's scheduled to come out?

It's on-topic in that a digital version of "scissors" was involved in making those pictures -- they aren't the actual camera, but rather a Photoshopped mockup. (Notice that the credit line reads "montage.")

The online rumor consensus seems to be that Leica hopes to show the digital M at Photokina 2006 (Photokina dates: September 26 - October 1) although it's unclear as to whether it will be a mockup, a prototype, or an actual product available for sale.

First the OT: As Leica does it, it'll probably be another montage. At best, a mockup. If they have a working prototype, pigs'll probably fly.

Then the scissors thing: Well, I just take out the scissors and cut it in one snip. Never had a problem. A steady hand will do. Though I got to admit that the cutter with the light and the gears is cool.
