 Erich- your reply was pretty much on the mark. I cannot for the life of me
figure out why anyone has trouble loading a Leica.
In the lab, I wish I had a dollar for every blank roll that comes in-
usually blank with about twenty exposures on one frame!
I see this even in the 'automatic loading' point and shoots where you only
have to get the film pulled out to the little red line!!
I can see where the attraction of APS may lie; it's a frightening thought
carrying the idea to its logical end....
We have cameras that load themselves, focus themselves, set the aperture and
shutter speed- next step is a camera mounted on your hat- you look, and if
it is a nice shot you think what a nice picture it'd make, the camera reads
your mind and takes the picture!
Sheesh! I'm beginning to scare myself!
Bask in the light, control your destiny- use a Leica!
