I think the Rondinax originally came with a template for cutting the film. Does anyone have a clear picture of one? I'd like to make one. Thanks in advance.
 
I had one with the original instruction book. There wasn't a template but it did suggest after cutting off the leader, trim off the sharp edges.
 
Don, there are 2 models Rondinax. You mean type 35U, for type 135 films.

As, said above, there is no template. No need of such either. Just proceed with the leader as you would do for winding film onto a plastic reel.

Interesting - I was confused because the film loads onto the spool from the centre and saw the instruction sheet for a previous one. Thanks - that's good to know.
