I think it was Ken Takashita who mentioned that if you put a wrap of tape onto the back end of the card, you make a handle that will allow you to pull the card out, but which doesn't interfere with the door. Removing the card is remarkably bad design on Pentax's part. It is still faster than changing film though. William Robb
