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! Dan
