Description
Every Leica Barnack photographer knows the challenge: The original Leica ABLON templates are rare and expensive collector’s items. Our reproduction offers you a precise and functional solution to repeatedly trim the long film leader required for these "bottom-loader" cameras.
The template guides your blade exactly so that the film leader gets the correct shape for the transport mechanism of your screw mount camera. Please use a sharp, narrow blade (e.g., a scalpel) and carefully cut along the guide to avoid damaging the plastic. Before loading, make sure no film shavings stick to the material.

Very good price when compared with the alternative, the Leica Ablon. Simplifies trimming of the film leader for use with Leica screw mount cameras.
