Leica ABLON style film leader trimming guide.

This film leader trimming guide is my take on the original Leica ABLON metal version. Old bottom loading Leicas need a much longer film leader than is cut into modern 35mm film, the guide helps to get the right shape to prevent things going awry in your camera.

Some people will sneer and say "just use scissors/teeth/bayonet and guess the shape", others will say "don't bother, just load your film without the longer leader, stuff your fingers in through the shutter opening and wrangle your film
