Well Bruce, using the method that Shel described, I can load a manual load camera (it doesn't matter if it has Magic Noodles) in somewhat less than 10 seconds, from the moment I open the camera to the moment it is ready to shoot. I just timed it. This method was taught to me by the pro I mentored with as being the fastest, and most reliable loading method he had discovered. He was a wedding photographer, primarily, and speedy film changes were very important to him, as was reliable film loading. I can see having problems loading a camera if the cassette is already in the film bay. It is just not an intuitive way to do the job. William Robb - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
