Hi

I've just read yet another magazine review of the M6 that makes a big deal
about how hard it is to load.

Yes I agree for a first time user it is a bit strange, BUT, after a while
you can almost do it with your eyes closed.

My method .... take the base plate off and put in your mouth (don't laugh),
camera around your neck, lens facing your chest, you have two hands free to load

On a recent holiday with friends, I had a new film loaded and ready to go
before their auto p/s had  re wound the film

Does this "Oh but it's hard to load" line annoy other Leica users ?



Regards,
