Ken,
Hopefully when you installed the rapid load system into your M2 you
stuck the little loading diagram on the bottom of the shutter crate. It
shows how much film needs to be in the spool and most importantly, the
position of the opening when loading. Looking down on the bottom of the
camera, the spool opening should be at the nine o'clock position and film
should be around the four o'clock position. You don't have to be too exact.
If you put too much film into the spool, it will tighten up
The next thing, did you install the spacer on the base plate? This is
more important, then it seems.
I have used these thing for years and never had a problem.
For any M3 users out there, the rapid load take-up spool has a loose
center core tube. This tube is to allow you to move the spool a little to
reset the M3's frame counter.
Happy Snaps,
