Subject: [Leica] Loading the film

As a new M6-owner I´m not used to the Leica-filmloading. According to the 
instruction manual you just place the film leader into the take-up chamber 
spool (in the middle of the three post assembly). This is also shown in the 
diagram of the camera housing.

But I don´t think it is that easy. The take-up chamber spool doesn´t pick up 
the film leader like it should. I have to try several times before it works.

Maybe I have to place the film leader through the three post assembly, but the 
diagram of the camera housing doesn´t show that.

I need help from you "old" Leica-user with this maybe trivial question.

PS. Do anyone have any experience with the new flash SF20 and M6 TTL. Maybe I´m 
buying one and I need some advice.
