Hi Chuck,
Is that in jest? For screw-mount Leicas, the recommended procedure, with
modern film loads, is to trim the film to the shape of the long leader that
was originally used by Kodak and others in the 40s, 50s, and 60s. Many
ignore this, but I, for one, feel it is the safest way to avoid loading
problems.
