Thank God Leica never 'updated' the loading system with a hinged back
where you'd easily see that the film was advancing before closing the
back. Damn, would THAT be an inconvenience....;-)

I have had this problem when the film has a significant bend across the
film in the area of the leader. I have found that bending the leader in
the reverse direction to reduce the bend fixes this problem. I think it
is getting caught between the film rails and the back when this happens
- - Just a guess as to the reason.

Please respond to

The first time I thought I just loaded it wrong, the second time I
kicked myself for not watching the crank knob, the third time it just
made me sick. In shooting 6 36exp. rolls of film 3 of them didn't wind.
The film was placed in perfectly the film advance felt normal but the
film just didn't move (and the rewind crank doesn't move). After I open
the back glare at it's innards and close it (without touching the film)
it will wind perfectly. I haven't heard of this happening before. My
film advance feels and sounds normal and the film leader isn't slipping
out of its tongs but it just doesn't wind around the spool.
