Back in the 60's and 70's when I was regularly shooting my Leica IIIb, Kodak film still came with the long leader, and when bulk loading for it, I found it quite easy to estimate the cutting by eye. I rarely had problems loading mine. I think the official length is 20 perfs. That's a little less than triple the length of a current leader, and shouldn't be too hard to duplicate. My recollection is that as long as it was about 1/2 the width of the film it was good enough, and did not have to be extra precise in width. |
