Subject: Re: [Leica] loading M6

It's funny this came up.  I'm having no trouble loading my M4-P, which, as 
far as I can tell, is the same loading system as the M6.  In fact, even 
though I've only had my M series camera a few weeks, I can already load it 
faster than I could the manual SLR the Leica replaced.  The only trouble I've 
encountered so far is catching on the film guides on the back, but that 
happened when I was trying to be "fancy" and load the camera with the back 
closed.  

Maybe the fact that I had read Eastland's book about a dozen times before I 
purchased my M4-P influenced me, though.

I love this system, since to my mind at least, it seems to offer less of a 
chance for light leaks.
