Then you really do need the newest lenses for either camera (or both for an ideal situation! <g>) > I get into the R7 recently. I am really fond of it. I am a M guy - used They are wonderful, aren't they? As for loading, when people find it difficult, it's often because they aren't attaching the film to the takeup spool before putting the cassette in the body.
