Subject: [Leica] Leica M3 -- all or nothing

After shooting with my Leica M3 for 25 years, I messed up. I didn't notice, 
while loading film, that the base plate lock was in the closed position, so 
I 
instinctively thought I was locking it to the camera. Actually the baseplate 
was unlocked but held to the camera by the leather case I use. The result is 
that the film didn't wind and I lost an assignment. It's all or nothing with 
the 
M3. This has never happened to me before. And I paid a high price for that 
oversight.
