RE: [Leica] M6 film loadingDr. Black Tape hates to disagree with Mr. Buzz,
who is generally noted for the sage advice and commentary he presents here.
However...
While the removable Nikon F is a royal pain - and Dr. Black Tape
regularly uses an F - the film loading itself is so normal and pain-free
that if one can remember where on his or her person he or she stashed the
back, it's not a problem.
And frankly, the more times one loads an M of any variety the less of a
problem it becomes. Dr. Black Tape makes my point exactly. If one can load
a Nikon F one can load any roll file camera!
Buzz Hausner
DR. BLACK TAPE RESPONDS:
HOW SILLY OF DR. BLACK TAPE TO HAVE MISSED MR. BUZZ'S EXCELLENT POINT!
