luigi bertolotti Posted October 31, 2013 Share #41 Posted October 31, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) so maybe... Oubio is Tubio is Tube? Oufro is Mufro is Macro? Mikas is Mikro is Microscope? where is Dan Brown when you need him? Oubio is a "recent" accessory... an era in which the explosion of Leitz accessories in the previous decades conviced them that it was impossible to struggle with trying to find 5 letters which had to "sound" with the item they referred to... (and 5 letters proved to be too few for numeric reasons, anyway...) But is fun that in the '30s they made any effort about the "meaning" of the codes... the first 200mm lens was a TELOO (whilst the first "long focus" ,a 90mm, was ELANG, and the first "short" 35mm was EKURZ, and with a Leica without rangefinder you could focus using a FOKOS... and framing with a VISOR... ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jc_braconi Posted October 31, 2013 Share #42 Posted October 31, 2013 The difference from ASPUL to AFLOO is the possibility with the ASPOOL to load 250 Reporter cassettes improved with a tensioning wheel/cylinder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M9reno Posted November 1, 2013 Share #43 Posted November 1, 2013 Jaques, you have an assembled cassette sitting on you winder. Of course the latter is meant to take only the spool, once you disassemble the cassette. PS: from its chrome knob the cassette looks like IXMOO, as opposed to the older FILCA. Only IXMOO worked with both M and LTM cameras. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
miss_emma_jade Posted November 8, 2013 Share #44 Posted November 8, 2013 The ABLON is a tool used in trimming the film leader on LTM cameras. Open the hinge, insert the film leader, close hinge, then trim away the exposed fim. The two on the right are classic types often seen but the one on the left is new to me. the LH one is for the daylight development tank.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
