Well when they first did it, the Leica was the only one who did it. BTW the specs for the 135 film cartridge required the leader to be trimmed to fit the Leicas. When you invent it you get to write the specifications (what a strange idea that is). However I have noticed that the leader has been trimmed shorter in contemorary 135 cartridges (to save .01 cents per cartridge, I assume). Can you still load them in a LTM camera, I wonder.Yep. I have done it many times. It's easier if you trim it to approximately the shape of the template. But sometimes I forget, and I've still been able to load although it's more difficult.
