I also find the back door a good idea, enabling to save the load when the film does not nicely glide down where it should. Except I once did screw back the base plate without pressing the back door hard enough. That seems like an easy mistake to do. Result: a wasted film due to light leaking from the unsecured back door. But the M6 provides a diagnosis for that: the metering seems not to work anymore and the right led arrow stays on. I did not know that, so I thought my meter was kaput and cursing about it while I was wasting my film.... Alan
