Subject: [Leica] Load a M6

All right, somebody has to ask..

How many experts does it take to load a M6?

Leica is not alone in the world of awkward film loading routines. Backs
must be removed on Rollei 35 and Minox 35 models. Film goes from right
to left under a hinged pressure plate on the Rollei 35. A German thing?

 I spotted the Cosina-built LTM camera at a show over the weekend. With
15mm and viewfinder it was very light and handy. Price was "about$1500".
Also, it loads just like every other camera, but one.
