- Replacement for rare Leica spools: Functional replacement for the expensive original winding spools of type SVOOP / 14021.
- Stays in the camera when loading film: Thanks to the quickload design, the film is directly engaged onto the spool inside the body without removing it.
- Removable anytime: With the included removal tool, the spool can be unscrewed for maintenance when needed.
Safety Instructions
Even when using this quickload spool, the film start must be narrowly trimmed to about 10 cm length (known as the ABLON cut). An untrimmed film can damage the camera’s cloth shutter. Suitable templates are also available in our shop.

Description
The film spool is designed as an alternative for classic Barnack Leicas. It replaces the original metal spool and offers an advantage when loading: it does not need to be removed from the camera to load film. The film is engaged directly onto the spool inside the body. This saves time and reduces the risk of dropping the spool.
If you don’t yet have a cutting template for the ABLON cut, choose the spool + trimmer variant, which includes the template.

Die Spule von ausgeknipst ermöglicht ein leichteres Filmeinlegen als die Originalspule, da die Spule in der Kamera verbleiben kann und der Film nur eingeschoben werden muss. Ein Muss für jede Schraubleica zumal die Originalspule oft nicht mehr vorhanden ist.
Als Ersatz für die verloren gegangene Filmspule der Zorki 2 s bestellt. Funktioniert perfekt!!! Top-Qualität und Ausführung!
Reviews in Other Languages
I only have 1 working hand and loading film into my Barnack Leicas is always something I had to do sat down at a table, for fear of fumbling and dropping an expensive spool. This device allows me to load the camera by simply dropping the film cannister in one side and pressing the leader into the prongs. I loaded 2 films with the camera hung around my neck and no danger of dropping anything. You still need to trim the leader to be safe, but that can be done in advance.
This gadget has improved my Leica experience enormously
Works as intended, highly recommended.
For older cameras such as Leica I, II or III, the only way not to damage the camera is trim the film. So Ausgeknipst's trimmer (ablon) is an exllent solution for that. Also, their Spool is very convenient to load the film. In conclusion, I am satisfied with the quality and price of the products. If you find the price burdensome to buy the original, I highly recommend Ausgeknipst's products (both of them).
