So I decided to get serious about loading some 20 exposure rolls for my M4. Kentmere 200, reminds me of the grain of Plus-X back in the day. Not sure it IS like the old stuff but it's a really nice film stock (in XTOL, should try D-76 and Microdol-X).
Anyway back to the Leica cassettes, just amazed at the design of the things. I bet these would cost $300 (US) to make today.
Just relaxing to load using an old Watson 100 loader, that allows you to close the cassette after winding, so you don't have to turn off the lights.
I have a Leica bench top winder requires you to work in the dark. Pain to do.
I have several cassettes, but recently found 10 more, a professional had used with 2 M2 cameras that are beat up bad.
I bet these cassettes have accumulated a hundred rolls each, at least. OR MORE!
Nice to be able to hide out, from the constant stream of #$@%%$&! of the arena of current events.
Brass Age! Nice
