IXMOO Adventures Ive recently discovered a couple of IXMOO cartridges in one of my fathers old camera bags. Ive managed to successfully load same (using an aged "Computrol" bulk film loader) and managed to get both the loader and my M3 to close the lightproof cyclinder successfully. Sadly when I developed the film from my first outing there are very fine scratches on the non-emulsion side of the film. Reloading with conventional horrible plastic casettes eliminates the problem so I'm concluding that the scratching has something to do with the poor IXMOO (rather than the film back or any other part of my developing process). Problem could happen either in the loader or camera but im guessing its the loader as the bottom plate on the M3 locks the IXMOO open and the lower edges of the slot "feel" smooth (albeit the scratches are very fine). Any ideas or suggestions would be hugely appreciated. I love the way the IXMOOs are constructed and it would be wonderful to be able to use them. Film is HP5+ pushed to 1600 using ID-11 and hypam). Many thanks........... T

Hi everyone, I'm planning to switch to Leica IXMOO reloadable film cassettes for bulk loading. However, the 5 cassettes that I managed to purchase all contain some degree of oxidation, so I'd like to give them a clean before putting them to use. Can anyone recommend a product and method with which to do this? I've heard vinegar works quite well, but obviously an IXMOO is a little more advanced than a doorknob, so I wanted to check first. Thanks in advance
