RE: [Leica] question on M6TTL camera

Hi mxsmanic,
i am sorry that i don't know how to explain the "problem" here to you all
and that make everyone confuse.  

I rewind the film back a bit everytime I load the new film into the M6
camera.  that is what i mean .  would the rewinding knob be spin back a lot
or just stay where i stop?  if it spin back, would this mean the film would
not be flat in the chamber ?
 

I experience with my SLR that when i rewind the film back a bit, the
rewinding knob stay where it is until in advance to next frame.  this way i
know what i have a flat film in the chamber.

I'm confused; if you have rewound the film, how can you then be advancing
it??
It should be completely disengaged from the take-up spool by then?  If it
_is_
fully rewound, however, you obviously will not see the rewind knob move when
you
move the advance lever, because the take-up spool is no longer pulling on
the
film.
