The responses I got caused me to look around for something to use as a spacer to move the modern film canister down a bit. I think I may have found it!! We build electrical panels at work, and throw away a 3mm, slightly curved washer, which seems to be about right to move the canister down a bit, it is rubber backed on the side which would go onto the camera, and the hole is larger than the rewind spindle, with the rubber having a smaller ID than the metal. It looks like it will not mar the camera parts. I will try it out and report to the group, if it works, as we throw these away, I will save them and they will be available. For the truly dedicated, we could put on a RED DOT!! ;) As these come off and on easily, they could be used from one LTM body to another easily. Will let you know how it works. Noel Charchuk
