Leica M3 Quick Load Kit

[Marc G.]

being a "reportage camera" leica M is terribly slow to load, whatever system you are using to load it. The original Contax with "from cassette to cassette" as pairs was the quickest.
Nikon SP not bad either, open the cover, slip film end in takeup spool shoot a frame to attach the film in it and drop the cassette in its place and close the back.
Leica is "old school" in good and bad...

I'm quite a bit quicker loading my M6 with film. even the M3 I tested was easy to load... just a bit more fiddly. film slrs take more time for me to load them actually

its just different somehow
