To load the IIIg in less than an hour, I have to cut a veeerry long film leader, much longer than for the other screwmounts I have tried. Can anyone tell me if Leica made any changes to the film transport mechanism, or if this is more a fault with my camera? Never had any problems loading film - without hooks or pund notes - with the M4-P or M6. I have an old heavy black Canon screw-mount 135 mm f:3.5 - 22 lens. I have never read anything about this lens anywhere, or how it behaves. It makes good images. Can anyone give me any information about this lens? Lately I have been using a Contax G1, which makes wonderful negatives. But the viewfiner is not even close to a M6 standard. Per Volledal pervo@powertech.no Stenfeltbakken 47 N-1405 Langhus Norway
