I can't do this without a picture: Oh, that. I guess my film is always so fresh that it doesn't have time to crimp seriously enough to make a difference. :-) Never had a problem with that in the M6. With the R8, somewhat. I almost wish they'd stuck with the loading system with the R system they've had way back to the SL (?) at least to the R3. Very easy to use, reliable. Not as fast, but less prone to miss. With the R8, about 1 in 20 rolls doesn't catch the first time, and with bulk loaded film, it's not terribly reliable. Maybe I just don't cut leaders carefully enough. (Not that I have much experience with bulk load since I bought the R8.)
