In the time taken to read this thread, I could have decided which film to put in my 67II. Much too embarassing to tell you how many other threads I could read in the time taken to load it!! Peter On 11/27/06, Adam Maas [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Godfrey DiGiorgi wrote: On Nov 26, 2006, at 12:43

I was timed at 20 seconds to put a new roll in my Leica M6. Funny thing is, if I rush and think too hard about it, I mess it up. j On 11/26/06, David Savage [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 2 minutes to change a roll? Your seriously out of practice :-) Dave On 11/26/06, Godfrey DiGiorgi [EMAIL

When I was shooting with the M, I could do that too if I was in a hurry. But it didn't include the time to rewind the used film, which took at least another 20 seconds, more if the air was dry. Never managed to load any SLR quite that fast. Dunno why. The F3 with the MD4 on it made
