Therefore, if you remove the spool and replace it with the M6 take-up tulip, then you've also got to rework the mechanism for resetting the film counter. IMO, it's not worth it. The M3's film loading system may be a little slower than the M6's, but you get used to it quickly. Besides, you'll never, never, ever, misload an M3. It's the most positive film-loading system known to man! ;) M. - -- Martin Howard | Trying to determine human performance by Visiting Scholar, CSEL, OSU | experiments is nothing but the ritual of email: howard.390@osu.edu | The Ballet for the Gods of Invariance. www: http://mvhoward.i.am/ +-------------------------------------------
