I thought this can't be right and found it was easier to hook the film in the take up spool first pull roll across and drop it in . By now I must have loaded thousands of rolls in this fashion. ted ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Schofield" <leicaluvr@comcast.net> To: "Leica Users Group" <lug@leica-users.org> Sent: Sunday, September 19, 2004 4:00 PM Subject: Re: [Leica] Question on lens switching > Ted, > > I thought the same thing (though fewer years) when I read the R7 manual on > how to load the film.
