[Leica] Coenen's interview on Asahi Camera

[mail at steveunsworth.co.uk (Steve Unsworth)]

I flip the camera upside down with the lens against my chest and I
change the film using both hands. With an open back I always seem to get
the flip open back caught up in the back. And I need three hands, one to
hold the camera, another to hold the film in place and a third to drag
the film across to the pick-up spool. Yes I know I'm doing it wrong, but
I genuinely find an M easier to load - something I never thought I'd say
when I bought my first one!
