Which by the way all work. Look, before you reload the roll make sure you know exactly how many frames were exposed. And how do you know that? Well when you took it out three weeks ago you marked how many frames were exposed right on the film leader still sticking out. Right? You did do that didn't you? I knew did! ;-) You marked on that roll how many frames were exposed, so load in the normal fashion, then put the lens tightly on your pant leg, OK ladies on yer skirt and fire away until you've gone by two frames of the previously exposed frames! Hell I don't have a lens cap for 90% of my lenses so I don't worry about the "put the lens cap on, set shutter to 1/1000 then smallest aperture etc, shoot." Sure they are all OK to do, but in the field in a hurry you sure don't go around looking for the lens cap or worrying about setting shutter speeds. It's in the camera, winder 'er on as quickly as you can and it's wham bam thank you Ma'am! Loaded and yer shooting like crazy! Like I said, it's truly a no brainer. ted.
