Description

Every Leica Barnack photographer knows the challenge: The original Leica ABLON templates are rare and costly collector’s items. Our reproduction offers you a precise and functional solution to repeatedly trim the long film start required for these "bottom-loader" cameras.

The template guides your blade exactly so that the film trim has 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.
