Holding down the back and putting on the base plate takes just a second more. For me, the trick is to pull out enough film from the cassette that the sprockets engage the film immediately. Maybe it is just loading M's since 1970 or so. If you worry about it, it doesn't load. Don dorysrus@mindspring.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
