Compared to an M2 or M4-2 (which admittedly I've never used), having to
open the back of the camera to check film alignment may be an
inconvenience, but it doesn't slow me down or bother me. I used to do the
same thing with my Nikon body (and still do, when I load my wife's FM2).

I guess I'm a bit of a worrier.
