[Leica] LUG question

[henningw at archiphoto.com (Henning Wulff)]

I've never had problems with the M4, M6 and M7 system, and it's been 
very quick as well. Pull the film out far enough so the end goes 
through the center and out a second slot, close it up and away you 
go. I certainly had more misloads with every other film loading 
system, both earlier and later.
