aauckland Posted February 27, 2009 Share #1 Posted February 27, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I made this post in the leica-collectors-historica forum, but have realised it probably would be more appropriatte in this Film forum: http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/leica-collectors-historica/78732-sprocket-holes-clipping-frame.html (18 posts as off 27/02/09) I have had this problem, (film sprocket holes encroaching into the frame), on all my earlier Leica LTM's, ...IIIc and earlier. It has been obvious on the following cameras: Standard, (c.1938) leica II, (c.1935) Leica IIIa, (c.1936) leica IIIc, (c.1946) ...but not my IIIf or IIIg. The clipping occurs at the bottom of the image, and I overcome the problem by very slightly packing, (up), the film cassette, (from the baseplate end.) Using a piece of 250gsm artpaper, inserted permanently, as the image below shows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Antony Posted February 28, 2009 Share #2 Posted February 28, 2009 I have had this 'problem' on all my LTM Leica models, must be common as I noticed at an HCB exhibition most of his had it too... Don't worry Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
