- M3 special feature? The M3 version has an integrated gravity pin that makes resetting the frame counter easier when changing film.

Description
This spool significantly modernizes the handling of your Leica M1, M2, M3 & Leica or IIIg. It replaces the original 14260 take-up spool and brings the convenience of the Leica M6 & Leica into your camera body. The "Petal" design securely and quickly grips the film without needing to remove the spool from the camera.
Special attention was paid to details especially for the Leica M3 & Leica MP & Leica: An integrated pin extends when the camera is turned upside down. This allows the spool to be easily lifted to trigger the automatic frame counter reset of the M3 without sacrificing comfort.
Here is the LTM (Barnack) version of the spool (Leica I-IIIf).
Compatibility
- Leica M1 & Leica
- Leica M2 & Leica
- Leica M3 & Leica
- Leica IIIg

Ich finde es toll dass es jemanden gibt der sich um scheinbare Kleinigkeiten um das Fotografieren herum kümmert. Dabei sind es oft die, die einem nochdaslwtzte Quentchen verschaffen, um happy zu sein. So wie die perfekte Spule ke zur M3, die mir hilft, beim Ausseneinsatzdie die M3 wie eine M6 handzuhaben verbunden mit der Freude des Fotografen diese edle Kamera ausführen zu können.

Although I've never had a great issue with the original spool, this quick loading thingy truly makes life easier. Fit is perfect and loading is now much easier in the field, especially when you are balancing the camera on your knees and don't want to fiddle with the original mechanism. Well done, gentlemen!
Product arrived and looks pretty solid, but does not work. Causes film lever to slip, and ends up ripping film sprockets.
Very nicely made film loading spool fits perfectly in my Leica M2, making film loading quick and easy. Highly recommended!
