I like the easier loading... now I only have to worry about dropping the base plate, not the take up spool as well. Even though the magnification is not quite as great, I like being able to use a 35mm lens (without eyes) on the HM. I wear glasses and am a left eye shooter so I have trouble seeing the full 35mm frame, but for occasional use it is fine. With the M3, I had trouble seeing the full 50mm frame. Hope this helps.
