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 cut the long film trim required for these "bottom-loader" cameras.
The template guides your blade exactly so that the film trim gets the correct shape for the transport mechanism of your screw mount camera. Please use a sharp, narrow blade (e.g., a scalpel) and cut carefully 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.
