It's leaving out a bit of film on rewind (so the film is like when you load it ...)

I had an F4s done to leave the leader out, however it's not something I recommend, far better is a film picker.

Thanks!

Guess this is something you want when you need to use two different types of film on one camera.

Anyway, thanks for the info!!!

Did it for F80 and was free. U can ask for other models. Find it useful as I do swop films. But have to be careful as you can mistake this for a fresh roll. Both my nikons are programmed for film lead out, so made it a habit to roll in the film lead after taking out from body after completion of roll.

But should record down the number of exposures taken...

Do u mean not good to modify for the F4s? Was that free for the modification?
