Thanks for the comments. I have bought an Agfa Karat to try out and I have my eye on a Penti (a half frame camera). I appreciate the reassurance that a stub of film will remain for the lab! The Art Deco Cameras link has useful info on loading cassettes so I will give it a whirl.

Hi, I am new to this forum but I am seeking guidance on how to use Agfa Karat/Rapid film cassettes. I am trying to assemble a collection of usable cameras which reflect a range of types, formats, manufacturers etc. The best Agfa Karat format is obviously a significant film format but I am currently stymied as to the use of the cassettes. I have found a great deal of information about loading the cartridges and using them in an appropriate camera - but I can find nothing that tells me whether the receiver cassette ends up with a film stub still outside the cassette or, if not, how to extract film from the cartridge. I will not be doing my own film development and I will probably have to advise my film processor. Any advice would be very welcome. Mark
