Sommor Sommor

An earlier Blog shows a negative holder with a Leitz-like name which emerged in the 1930's and 1940's. In the event this was a French product quite well made but probably introduced when the real thing was unavailable. Another product of those days has come to light in the Sommor loader for 10m of bulk film(say six loads) and a bakelite 'Bobineuse' which holds the cassette in a light tight trap for loading. This is a smaller proposition than any other device to load from bulk film and is is surprising that so few remain in existence.
