Quirks....When you travel, remember to bring an extra film spool,
in case you drop the one you have down a sewer, while loading film.
Same goes for the M3. Also don't forget to set the film counter.
M2 was my first M camera in 1960 or so. Mine was the first adapted
to the Remodrive motor. Like a fool, I sold it later for the
new version motor...My original camera was black enamel, as was the
black enamel M3 I also sold to cover some shorts in the market in
1974 or so.  Ed
