I agree. I can load an M2 much faster than my new M6. I am beginning to wonder if I can convert the M6 from "fast" load to M2 FAST load. I've followed every post on the list on how to load an M6 and it is still a pain. And if you don't get the leader locked in, getting the film back out is difficult. I get wondering if I'm going to dent the shutter. The M2 is a breeze. I can do it on the run, in the dark, whatever. Of course, if I get a few thousands rolls through the M6, maybe I'll catch on. donal - -- Donal Philby San Diego http://www.donalphilby.com
