At the risk of sounding like one of the "me too" consumers of bandwidth, let me echo Edi's observations at least re the M4. I at first had some difficulty in making the transition to the M4 loading system from the M3. I found it necessary to thread the film into the takeup spool, then close everything up. The combined pressures of the back and the baseplate seem to make everything work. Of course, I still confirm this act of faith by watching the rewind knob turn as the film is advanced. Roy
