Hi Mark, Well, perhaps he knows better than Leica, but I KNOW that without the basket, the film CAN get misaligned, and not advance, and that chance is less likely with the basket in place. Yes, if one religiously checks that it is aligned with the sprockets, and checks that the rewind knob spins, you won't have any problems. ====================================================================== I think I read somewhere (LUG?), months ago, that damage to the camera can result from not using the basket . . . something to do with providing support to the bottom end of the "tulip" Regards, ===== Ray "The trouble with resisting temptation is you never know when you'll get another chance!" __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
