I need the old style leader for my WideLux F7 and a later life as a test strip. Please do not take my leader away.
I am not going to take away your leader!!!. (Indeed, the Trump Card will continue with his retinue.) The length of the whole film will be the same. It is just that ... why expose five inches to light when that could simply be an option?I need the old style leader for my WideLux F7 and a later life as a test strip.

That's the one Andrew. I may of course be naive in believing everything I read but a new colour film and plans for three new cameras is certainly ambitious so Yashica may be just the company that David needs as the ideal candidate to kick over the traces in respect of fartitudinous matters such as traditional film leaders. Fartitude is my new word, you know. It encompasses killjoyism, some scepticism and reluctance to rejoice. Can't recall where I found the wordI like the old shaped leader...I always cut one for my students. I've gotten really good at that...Anyways Peter, is this what you are talking about? https://petapixel.com/2019/04/27/yashica-unveils-three-film-cameras-and-two-new-films/

With your WIdelux you could simply pull out what you need from the cassette and cut it the way you want to cut it. Is that so terrible? - Frugal David Lyga.
Primitive, but feasible and a trite conciliatory. - David LygaHow primitive! How gauche! Sacre bleu!

It USED to be long enough. I remember that that was the case when I was little (a LONG time ago). Film, back then, was CHEAP. But for the toothpick Pentax (of which I am all too aware) would it not be so difficult to trim each side of the leader's very end in order to be able to load? - David Lyga
I DEMAND that the noodles NOT be cooked, so I can stab you with one. - David LygaI challenge you to a duel with wet noodles at 10 meters.
The YEAR that I was born, 1950, the US minimum wage was 75 cents per hour. It did not take long for it to go up to $1 per hour (in the mid-50s). If you were making 25 cents per hour, then you were making far less than my maternal grandfather was making (55 cents) at New Departure (GM division) in Bristol, CT during the Depression. Your 25 cents per hour does not drive me into a state of belief. - David LygaEverything was cheap back in the day. But I was only making 25 cents and hour so I still couldn't afford to splurge on film. The really long tongue was needed for a number of cameras, Leica screw mount, stereo cameras, Leica copies etc. The current tongue is required for probably 90% of film cameras existing today. Nikon, Pentax and Minolta for sure.
You're correct. In 1964 minimum wage was around $1.15. I wasn;t get paid that much though, I think farm labor was exempt.The YEAR that I was born, 1950, the US minimum wage was 75 cents per hour.

A film without a tongue would be very difficult to remove from a roll using a film extractor.
Yeah, as I mentioned in another thread, I hate 36 exposure rolls, and even 24 is too many. They should bring back 20 exposure rolls. So for me, trying to get more than 36 exposures would be akin to stabbing myself in the thigh with a pocket knife. I frequently pull my rolls out early and waste the rest of the exposures, just to get done with roll.
Time for you to buy a Hasselblad. That would allow you to use a twelve exposure roll.

nah, I have a Bronica GS1 and Pentax 67 for ten shots per roll, and when I need more portability, I have a ETRSi for 15 shots per roll.
