Hi,
yes, there are differences. E.g. the leader made by hama is much thinner and more flexible than Kodak's. Hence hama's leader is always eaten by my Bauer T610 even though it's working fine in other projectors. (The leaders used by Agfa, ORWO and Fuji are also working fine in my T610. Leaders made/sold by rowi, revue, herma... do have the same problem as the current hama-leaders.)
BTW: To me it looks like only Kodak, hama and Fuji are still producing Super8-leaders at all. As Fuji is only producing them for their own Single8-lab-service, those leaders on eBay are most likely either made by Kodak or hama (or is some older stuff by who-knows).

HI Jan,
I would like to add my personal experience on "no brand" leaders, especially Super 8, that were in many case "out of standard".
I mean the distance between the sprockets is not always constant and this, on some projector, may cause, some problems (sprockets damaged, for instance, that could be the problem descirbed by Joerg...).
Now I buy only original kodak or branded leader, but not completely "unbranded".
