I bought a new Kiev 4a camera but it does not have a take up spool. Any solutions? Especially one you have used?
Thanks for replies. ....How about from an Exa camera?
I decided to add a photo of the camera. Sorry so late.

I'm not an authority on 35mm Kievs and I really don't have much experience with them (except for one Kiev 4 which I own), but I think Kievs don't actually have their own take up spools. I just use the spool from the previous film and that works fine for me. |

The Kiev spool has a slot at the bottom of the spool to take the tongue of the film. A normal 35mm spool from an old cassette will do the job but there is only a little slit in the centre.
Use one of these and tape the film tongue to it. I put my finger on the sticky tape first to reduce the 'tack' so when its rewound it will pull off the spool.
You can usually pick up a spool on ebay. I'll look I may have a spare in a broken camera...

edit: just looked both cameras have the spool missing sorry

How about using a Exa spool? I would have to load the film into the opposite side though.
Or I could pick one up on ebay. |

I believe that is for the 4m and 4am models.
Mine is just 4a, an older model with removable take up spool. |

sorry - I never understood the 4 - 4a - 4m -4am lettering,
I think the 4am should be 4ma.

That makes sense.
BTW, is there someplace on the camera where the model is written? |

Don't know.
But the plastic shutter time dial and hot shoe are easiest to spot?

Thank you, Attila. I loaded some film in it. I am excited, this is a beautiful camera, although a bit worn and has a very nice rangefinder+viewfinder. The shutter seems to be operating properly. The lens is very nice. I need to write down the sunny 16 guide on a card and go out and shoot! |

I agree with this, mine was a little overexposing. But use sunny 16 for your film anyway, a little over exposure is better than under exposure and as you know, the film latitude will take care of everything else.
