But even if they did/do, Duane's point is that with the current M film loading method. With the film canister loaded from the bottom, the felt light trap would be vulnerable to ripping and tearing every time film is loaded or removed. The CLE had a standard swing-open back. like all current SLRs, making use of a felt light trap less problematical. Don't some of the Lecia R SLRs have a film reminder window? I've noticed that a lot of the APS cameras have film loaded through a small "hatch;" do any of these have film reminder windows?
