I finished my first roll of film in my xr-m. It was a pleasant surprise to find out when opening the back to take the film out that the leader was still out! The manual makes no mention of film leader out on rewind but if this is a assumed feature its pretty neat(and i hope the midroll rewind does the same). I always wanted that in my auto-rewind cameras (xr-10m doesnt have it. zx-5n doesnt). No of shots left (once it is less than 9 on DX encoded film) display in viewfinder can be helpful too tho i dont think i would ever use that. On the negative side, it doesnt let me fire the shutter unless there is film inside. And the rewind is noisy.
its neat. - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions. Don't forget to visit the Pentax Users' Gallery at http://pug.komkon.org .
