I bought my M4-P about a year ago and I never had any problems since with feeding the film into the camera (using Kodak Tri-X rolls). I just pull the film until it's inside of the right spool, then close the body and shoot two blind pictures. I usually get 38 or 39 pictures per roll. Just luck?? Bye, Edi.
