I would call Leica in NJ and see if they won't send you the instruction manual or copy of it for a small charge. Loading is difficult if you have never used this type of camera (the film reverses on the takeup spool and must be place exactly in the spool rather than just lying it flat at a red line) and the flash sync (s) are not real clear. There is a mirror lockup but you need a special attachment and info as to where it is. All old hat to mechanical slr users and Leica people but Pig Latin to neophytes. Best of luck with what is a truly great camera. Bob Haight - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
