[Leica] "The Dreaded Shirt Tail Syndrome" ... or ... "Confessions of a Silly Sausage"

[Ray Moth <ray_moth@yahoo.com>]

Well, I finally did it! I suppose it was ineveitable that I would, one
day, close the base (actually, the motor) on my M6 TTL without closing
the back. Left it hanging out like a shirt tail, I did, and got through
half a roll of film before I noticed. "Well I never!" I thought to
myself, "What a turn-up for the book!" (or words to that effect). 

In my panic, I rewound the film, opened the base, reloaded it, closed
the back and the base (properly, this time) and wound on, using the
motor, to the position the film was in when I noticed my error, then
took one more blank frame. This was probably a complete waste of time
because all the shots taken previously must be ruined, I would think. I
feel like a nincompoop (but where am I gong to find one this time of
day?)  :o{
