Anymways, I spent last night praticing loading and have found that those who said loading is easy as per the manual are absolutely correct. But what needs to be emphasized is that the leader must be EXACTLY as diagrammed. A little too short or too long and it will jam or fail to load. Once the leader is in right, don't touch the film any more, pop the canister in, close the flap, put the bottom on and everything else will be fine. I think the root of my problem is that I wanted to see those sprokets in the proper holes and the film turned onto the takeup spool before I closed the back. This really fouls things up. Hope this helps. Jonathan Lee
