I'd like to chime in here. When I bought a Leica screwmunt (IIIf RD), the pessimists here said I'd be selling it after loading a half dozen rolls or so. In fact I've found that loading does become quite easy with practice -- one might say instinctive. I've now shot about a hundred rolls with the screwmount Leica and have grown quite fond of it. It has replaced the MX as my walk around camera. I did a 20 mile walk through Paris last week and shot eight rolls, loading on the street each and every time. No problem. I'll be posting some of the pics once I've scanned a couple dozen. Paul
