I assume you already knowhow to load the film. I take the lead of the film to the spokes. I only 1/4" in the spokes. align the base plate hole with the 3 spikes of the spokes and tighten the base plate. Olivier. Hope i am not confuse you at all. >From: "Mehrdad Sadat" <m.sadat@verizon.net> >Reply-To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us >To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> >Subject: RE: [Leica] Trouble with loading M-6 (and Voigtlander Ultron 28 >MM) >Date: Mon, 15 Apr 2002 08:56:29 -0700 > >First advise joe, never ever buy from aaacamera. u got lucky this time. if >you think u have problem loading the m6, use a roll as practice roll and go >at it. i always make sure the film is on the spokes and it works all the >time > >----------------------------------------------------------------------- >Regards, Mehrdad > > >-----Original Message----- >From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us >[mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of Joe >Stephens >Sent: Monday, April 15, 2002 8:36 AM >To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us >Subject: [Leica] Trouble with loading M-6 (and Voigtlander Ultron 28 MM) > > >I was doing a photo shooting, and after taking a >sequence of photos, I noticed to my horror that the >film had not loaded properly.
