When you say the film doesn't catch, can I ask what may be a stupid question? You do realise that you have to push the film leader into the take up spool before dropping the film canister and spool into the camera body don't you? The take up spool has a spring loaded lip that allows the film to be pushed between it and the body of the spool. Also the film leader will need to be trimmed - i.e. the leader extended. Sorry for wasting your time if you are already doing this.

I just subscribed to the LUG. I currently live in Puerto Rico and own a Leica IIIf. My intention to join this group is to see photos from Leica users and to get answers to Leica questions. My first question has to do with loading the film. I have tried it and can't get the film to wind. It is slipping.It does not catch. I hope there is help around.... peace David -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus. Version: 7.0.344 / Virus Database: 267.10.21/96 - Release Date: 10/09/2005
