[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]press photographers have been doing it that way for years, joe, even decades. it's quick, sure, and fool proofe except on the LUG where someone is sure to find a way to mess it up. I always crank a frame to make sure it's caught before closing the back, though. One frame is a minimal price for peace of mind, and i don't have to be so careful about tightening the rwind knob. ctrentelman In a message dated 8/11/01 1:06:56 AM, owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us writes: << The procedure seemed fast and I have used that system ever since. I realize 38 exposures without fear of ruining the first frame. The odd thing is that some time after my "discovery" I saw others do the same thing and after thinking that I had been copied I realized that others had discovered the same easy way to assure fast and secure loading of the camera. All these years I have wondered when the first individual started loading the leader *before* dropping the cassette into its chamber. Joe Codispoti >>
