If you know that > it's 2 sprockets to the left of the last number, you'll know where to cut. > I recognize Luc's problem with the M3. He has one like mine. The frames are actually a little bit larger than the frames on an M2 or later. The problem is that the space between the frames is very tight. There's about as much space between the frames as there is on each side of the cut when you cut other negatives. It is so much bigger that I can't use it with the V35's fullframe negative carrier. The fullframe carrier works for all the other M's I have, but not the M3. The frames are just too big. The film is advanced by the same number of sprockets, but the larger frames eat up the space that would have been between them. Go to a sewing store. Buy the smallest scissors you can. Embroidery scissors are small (don't block your view) and sharp (real sharp :( ). White background (I use the newspaper) and a good light. If you miss, it's just part of the photographic process :) Daniel - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
