Dr. Black Tape hates to disagree with Mr. Buzz, who is generally noted =
for
the sage advice and commentary he presents here. However...
=A0
While the removable Nikon F is a royal pain - and Dr. Black Tape =
regularly
uses an F - the film loading itself is so normal and pain-free that if =
one
can remember where on his or her person he or she stashed the back, =
it's not
a problem.
=A0
And frankly, the more times one loads an M of any variety the less of a
problem it becomes. Yes, there is the same "Where did I stash the =
bottom
plate?" problem, but the loading gets quite smooth and reliable.

Dr. Black Tape will gladly put up with the awkwardness in loading for =
the
body stability the non-removable back provides.=A0
=A0
Dr. Black Tape makes my point exactly.=A0 If one can load a Nikon F one =
can
load any roll file camera!
