ABSTRACT:
An easy-load camera comprising a cartridge receiving chamber for receiving a film cartridge with a protruding film leader that has one longitudinal edge extending straight from a reduced-width forward-most leader portion to a full-width leader portion following the reduced-width leader portion and an opposite longitudinal edge extending curved from the reduced-width leader portion to the full-width leader portion, and a leader insertion slot for first receiving the reduced-width leader portion and then receiving the full-width leader portion when the film leader is inserted into the leader insertion slot, is characterized in that an inclined film edge guide is located between the cartridge receiving chamber and the leader insertion slot to contact the longitudinal edge that extends curved from the reduced-width leader portion to the full-width leader portion, but only at the reduced-width leader portion and not at the full-width leader portion, when the film leader is inserted into the leader insertion slot, and a non-inclined film edge guide is located between the cartridge receiving chamber and the leader insertion slot to contact the longitudinal edge that extends straight from the reduced-width leader portion to the full-width leader portion, first at the reduced-width leader portion and then at full-width leader portion, when the film leader is inserted into the leader insertion slot.
