If you have only used modern electronic SLRs, you will need the instruction 
book to fully use this camera. I would call Leica in NJ and see if they won't 
send you the instruction manual or copy of it for a small charge. Loading is 
difficult if you have never used this type of camera (the film reverses on 
the takeup spool and must be place exactly in the spool rather than just 
lying it flat at a red line) and the flash sync (s) are not real clear. There 
is a mirror lockup but you need a special attachment and info as to where it 
is. All old hat to mechanical slr users and Leica people but Pig Latin to 
neophytes. Best of luck with what is a truly great camera.
