That I can understand. They've got a nice size. I used to have one too. I
guess I traded it off or something when I picked up more "modern" (M4)
cameras years ago (new). I still run across shots I took with it now and
then and played with the idea of picking up one to always carry around,
but decided that the M4 or M2 wasn't that hard to always have with me
anyway, so I couldn't justify it. I don't remember having trouble with the
film, but then again, I do remember a folding apparatus to trim the film
with (I was loading my own back then).
