Hi Tuulikki,

I believe the above is an exaggeration.  I've got probably 2000 rolls of
film on an M6 with the RapidWinder, and the basket, and I have not in one
instance ever had a problem as you describe.  I've also never seen anyone on
this list complain of such a problem, and none of the camera review sites
that have reviews of the M6 claim this as a problem...  I don't dispute it
was a problem for you, as you are relaying your personal experience, but I
don't believe it's much of an issue for others.

As I've said, I have had misloads, as well as have read others have had
misloads, without the basket...and I've had NO misloads with it.

Regards,

Austin
