I have 9 leica IXMOO reloadable cans in fine user condition that I'd like to trade for film in any format. Preferably something from Fujifilm. If you want to make a cash offer, I am also ok with that.
 
🛡️ Classifieds Safety Reminder: Please stay safe when buying and selling. Scams via hacked accounts are on the rise globally.

Best Practices: Always use a verified payment method with buyer protection (avoid "PayPal Friends & Family"). Services like Escrow.com are highly secure. Be suspicious of random unsolicited contact via Private Message. If you see suspicious behavior, please use the Report link on the post immediately.
I should add that these are the reloadable cans that work in both M cameras and barnacks.
 
Is there a visual way to distinguish IXMOO from FILCA? I keep buying cassettes off ebay trying to get an IXMOO (the sellers never know the difference) but only ever get FILCA.

IXMOOS often have a silver nub on top and always have the Ernst leitz text on the bottom.
 
As well as what Gram wrote, FILCAs are a tad longer so do not fit in an M.
 
Yeah, this is why I keep trying to find an IXMOO - you just can discern the length easily without trying it (or at least I can't.) I have plenty of FILCAs for th barnack cameras.

I can confirm that these ixmoos fit in my m3.
 
Never having looked up their placement, proper or otherwise, I believe all of mine have been on the bottom of the Leica cassette, on whatever type I’ve used.

i believe they are ment to be a lifter of the raw film instead of using a spring to position the interior oversized cassette, though I’m not sure, only knowing they have have come batches of cassettes bought from different folks.

They are also a bit thick and of black wool.

It might be they supposed to fit on the outside of the bottom of the cassette, instead of a lifting spring, such as I used on my IIIC, when I had one.

As a piece of quality kit, I’m still glad to have them and still hope to find a Ten Dollar Leica one day that’ll use them; part of the romance of the Leica Barnack or ‘M’.

The silver thing is the first clue I look for, but I also have some that have the silver nub and are definitely FILCA length. I don't know if they are put together from different parts but I remember looking at the internal part and I think it was IXMOO length.
