Pre-M well that's another story > from a previous era in film tech. My M3 has the old-style loading where you have to take the spool out, whereas my M4-2 has the new-style loading. The M3 is really quite slow to load. The M4 loading system seems to be as good as any others that I know, though. The Pentax magic needle system has always been quite good for me, but is no better than the M4, and the M4 is probably actually better than the Contax RX loading system. At least, I've never had a misload with the M4, whereas on Sunday I shot 7 rolls with the RX, of which one was a misload. The RX is slightly faster than the M4 when it loads properly, but not by a huge amount. -- Cheers, Bob mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
