- Replacement for the crumbled clamping sleeve: The attachment fits over the metal core of the permanently installed take-up spool, and the clamping slots hold the film leader just like the original.
- Tool-free installation in about one minute: Open the back, press the attachment over the core by hand until it sits in place, no gluing, no workshop appointment.
- Working film transport: The film leader clamps securely again, and the film winds neatly onto the spool when you advance it.

Description
Description
The permanently installed take-up spool of the Leicaflex is its well-known weak spot: over the years, the original spool sleeve becomes brittle and crumbles until the film leader no longer finds any grip and the camera stops advancing the film. Unlike on the Leica M or CL, the spool cannot be removed, and an original part has not been available from Leica for decades.
This repair spool is deliberately not a complete replacement spool but an attachment for your existing spool: it restores the clamping function without removing anything and without a workshop repair. It comes in a pack of 2, one spool for installation and one as a spare or for a second camera. Made in-house in Würzburg, every part is checked for fit before shipping.

We are Anto & Vladi
Support a young startup
You want innovative solutions instead of mass-produced goods? With us, you don’t buy from an anonymous wholesaler, but directly from the founders. We (Anto & Vladi) started our startup in October 2021 in Würzburg to help you revive analog photography.
Developed by engineers
Designed in Würzburg
We don’t sell anything we wouldn’t use ourselves. We are engineers and camera nerds, and we know that precision is especially important in camera technology. That’s why we design our parts ourselves in Würzburg, and we make and assemble most of them here too. Batteries and rechargeables come from other manufacturers, for example Varta.
From Germany to the whole world
Fast DHL shipping
Don’t want to wait forever for your item? We pack every order in Würzburg and send it out on the next shipping day (Monday, Wednesday or Friday). Within Germany it then arrives in 2-4 days, with DHL or Deutsche Post.
