Don't pack Minox cassette to maximum capacity, unless you can attach film lead to the spool very tight; otherwise, uneven tape may add to the diameter of spool, you may not get the maximum, and jam the camera. It is wise to leave some leeway.
Remember frames beyond 50 for Minox A/B , and frames beyond 36 for Minox C/LX/TLX/CLX/EC will have wider than normal spacing.
Thin film may have little frame spacing at the beginning.
Don't use too thick film in Minox cassette.
