  • Load film without removing the spool: A replacement for the original Leica SPOOM take-up spool (14022). The film engages directly with the spool while it stays in the camera, so you no longer have to take it out to load.
  • Quick loading with the tulip system: This spool brings the Leica M6’s tulip loading system (petal design) to your classic M1, M2, M3 or IIIg.
  • Pin for automatic frame counter reset: On the M3 version only, a pin extends when you turn the camera over. It lets you lift the spool slightly and trigger the frame counter reset.

Compatibility

  • Leica M1
  • Leica M2
  • Leica M3
  • Leica IIIg

Not compatible with the Barnack Leicas I to IIIf: they use a different original spool (SVOOP, 14021). For those cameras, there’s our film spool for Leica I to IIIf.

  1. Steffen B.Verified

    Super Filmspule

    Das Ding macht das Einlegen von Film in meine Leica M3 wirklich viel einfacher.

  2. Michael U.Verified

    Works perfectly in my M3

    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!

  3. John S.Verified

  4. Egidius S.Verified

    It is easy to use, and works perfect with my Leica M3. I'm satisfied and my evaluation : 5 stars !

  5. Hans K.Verified

    finde ich toll

    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.

  6. Daniel V.Verified

    Leica M film spool quick load for M2

    Excellent service in every way.
    I am very happy with the quick load for my Leica M2.

  7. Patrick O.Verified

    Product arrived and looks pretty solid, but does not work. Causes film lever to slip, and ends up ripping film sprockets.

    Update: they reached out to me and offered/issued a refund.

  8. Yves V.Verified purchase

    Average quick loading

    The film often doesn't grip the quick load capsule. Needs some practice and double-checking

    Reply from Ausgeknipst ·

    Hi Yves, thanks for the honest review, and sorry that loading took more practice than expected. You're right, the leader doesn't always catch in the spool on the first try. What helps: before closing the camera, advance once and check that the film is held between the petals. If it still won't catch, write to us at info@ausgeknipst.de, and you'll get a new spool or a refund if you send it back.
