I'm interested to find out why you consider the film loading system on the M4 and later inferior to most SLRs? All that's required to load later M film cameras is to pullout the film leader, place the cartridge in the camera with the film leader though the tangs, fit the base and stroke the film advance. I've had more problems with supposed self loading SLRs personally. -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC +10 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
